Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 July 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

In response to the spirit of these amendments, the Government could commit to publishing a report within 12 months, similar to that argued for in the amendment tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Moynihan, that outlines revised definitions for freelance and self-employed status, assesses the impact of legislation on these groups, explores data classification reforms and makes targeted recommendations to improve the fair treatment and statistical visibility of workers in the visual arts and craft sectors. This would be in keeping with the Government’s broader commitments under the creative industries sector vision and ongoing work to support the freelance workforce. I beg to move.
