Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2025
Debate
Employment Rights BillContribution
If we apply rules intelligently, we uphold rights and protect the sector. By contrast, inflexible enforcement would force some organisations to choose between illegal operation and bankrupting themselves. Our amendment would simply allow the law to be applied in good faith with official oversight, to secure maximum compliance over time. That is a measured, short-term intervention, not a permanent carve-out, which keeps the Bill’s goals intact while avoiding collateral damage.
