Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I have heard repeatedly from business owners who fear the consequences of unintended errors, late filings, administrative slip-ups or misinterpretation of complex rules. For a large corporation, such issues are dealt with by compliance teams. For a family-run café, a tradesperson or a local care provider, they may amount to an existential threat. There is genuine anxiety that the Bill in its current form risks placing an unprecedented administrative burden on the smallest players in our economy without clarity, support or proportionate enforcement.
