Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2025

Debate

Border Security, Asylum and Immigration Bill

Contribution

I have referred to exploitation. Amendment 153 is specifically about migrant domestic workers and seeks to restore the protections they had until 2012. I hope the Home Office will recognise that this amendment is the humane and appropriate response to the appalling situation in which some—I stress some—domestic workers find themselves, at the hands of extreme abuse by their employers. Given the amount of work that we still have to go through, and that we are being required to keep going barely able to draw breath today, I will not spend much time on examples.
