Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 September 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

It would be an omission not to congratulate the hon. Members who have campaigned for specific changes to the Bill and have secured some important changes. That includes the hon. Member for Bridgwater (Sir Ashley Fox), who raised the issue of special constables in a very persuasive way in Committee, even if he may not be entirely persuaded to support the legislation in full now that special constables are named in the Bill. I would also like to congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Luton North and my right hon. Friend the Member for Sheffield Heeley (Louise Haigh) on, and thank them for, their important work on bereavement leave and non-disclosure agreements. The use of non-disclosure agreements in sexual harassment cases has no place in any of our institutions.
