Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

What is more, Clause 91 requires the Secretary of State to publish a strategy outlining how enforcement functions will be used to address non-compliance. Clause 92 goes further, mandating an annual report to assess how these powers have been exercised. These provisions ensure transparency and accountability without the need for additional bureaucracy. We must be careful not to undermine the efficiency of enforcement by layering on unnecessary institutions. The current framework is sufficient, and the Bill already strengthens oversight through clear reporting obligations.
