Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 July 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I understand that the noble Lord is concerned about the speed at which action can be taken on this. We have listened, and I can confirm that officials will undertake the review at pace. The review will be undertaken over the next six months, and we intend to publish a summary of the review’s findings in the first half of 2026. If changes to the list of roles are needed following the review, the Government already have powers to make these changes through secondary legislation. Therefore, primary legislation is unnecessary.
