Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Let us be clear: the role of independent experts on this board is to bring evidence-based insight, practical knowledge and analytical rigour to complex questions of labour market enforcement. They could be legal scholars, economists, public policy professionals, former regulators or data scientists with expertise in employment trends and rights. Disqualifying such individuals on the basis of perceived alignment with employers or unions, however tenuous, would only undermine the quality and credibility of the board’s advice.
