Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 July 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Insolvency practitioners have no reason to spend money attending employment courts, and much the same is true for the Redundancy Payments Service, so it is a free-for- in the employment court between the activists and the ambulance chasers. Whether because of this or not, I am told by insolvency practitioners that none of them has ever seen less than the full 90 days’ pay—which is soon to be 180 days—awarded on top of redundancy money. I cannot but believe that this is just a mistake.
