Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Amendment 286, which calls for ministerial responsibility for managing the impact on freelancers and creative professionals, is, likewise, a necessary step. Our cultural economy is complex and distinct, and without a dedicated ministerial post to oversee its needs in the face of the Bill’s provisions, we risk poor co-ordination, inadequate consultation and lost opportunities to craft policy that works for both creative employers and those they engage.
