Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 July 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Amendment 105 in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Sharpe, which I have signed, would create a definition of seasonal work and require the Secretary of State to lay regulations regarding work of this nature. In Committee, we placed our concerns on the record about the Bill’s impact on seasonal workers and the difficulties those businesses may have in adhering to it. We believe the amendment would not create contrasting employment law requirements for businesses but would ensure that those businesses are properly considered when secondary legislation is created. We would support any action on this amendment.
