Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Essentially, Amendment 259 closes a gap in existing legislation. It does not exempt creative workers from rights; it extends rights to those previously missed. By acknowledging the unique structure of arts labour—high freelance content, seasonal projects, small ensembles—we ensure that everyone can benefit from collective bargaining. This is about pragmatic inclusion, not special pleading.
