Speaking in the House of Lords on 18 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

We must also recognise that it is not simply a matter of the number of claims but their quality and the amount of additional time and resource required for the judiciary to get cases in a state where they can be determined. Delaying this measure would be counter to the aim of ensuring that parties have more time to seek advice and support to prepare higher-quality claims. Extending time limits will simplify and standardise the time limit for submitting a claim to the employment tribunal across the majority of complaints, making the system more consistent for claimants and employers.
