Labour — Bishop Auckland

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 September 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

It will not surprise my hon. Friend to hear that I completely agree with that assessment. They are clearly not on the side of my constituents or the people I am talking about, who just do not feel that they can assert their rights. Too many feel completely powerless, so it is right that we put the onus where it is. I will vote against the attempts in the Lords to water down that part of the Bill.
