Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I was trying to work out why that we would continue to use taxpayers’ money—by virtue of standing opposed to Clause 114, I am not sure that this is the best use of taxpayers’ money—and I do not understand why we would continue to do that. According to the Explanatory Notes, the Secretary of State might be able to cut off the funding under subsection (4)(b)(ii), but why we would consider it at all is surprising to me. It would be helpful to get some scenarios of where that might be the case.
