Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 July 2025
Debate
Employment Rights BillContribution
We understand that there may be cases where workers want confidentiality. We are therefore taking a power to define in regulations when the NDA will not be void. These regulations will set conditions aimed at protecting workers, ensuring they have a greater say in whether they want an NDA and an understanding of what they are agreeing to. This will help address the imbalance of power between workers and employers. In addition, in instances where a worker enters into an NDA meeting these conditions, the Government intend to specify in regulations who workers can still speak to about their experience. This may include, for example, a doctor or a lawyer.
