Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

In short, Amendment 288 would simply force a Cabinet-level conversation about budgets, tax and sector health in the context of the Bill. It would keep discussions grounded in international best practice and give Parliament confidence that reforms were affordable. It is a common-sense step. We have signed off on billions for the arts for decades, from ACE national portfolio funding to creative industries tax relief, and we must ensure that new rules do not break already strained companies.
