Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 July 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I cannot emphasise enough how significant and game-changing are the proposals in Part 1 of this Bill for SMEs and micro-businesses. Whether on parental leave, flexible working, zero hours or dismissal, the new rules will all have a dramatic effect on small businesses and most—in fact, I would say, nearly all—have no idea what is about to hit them.
