Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

On complaints and misconduct arrangements, as my amendment provides, there are currently detailed regulations covering the handling of complaints made about the conduct of labour abuse prevention officers exercising police powers under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act and how they must be investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. I struggle to see why the same complaints and misconduct arrangements should not apply to enforcement officers when they are deploying exactly the same powers, but I see nothing in the Bill to that effect. I assume that my amendment will be welcomed by the Government on that score too.
