Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I ask the Government again: what defence does the individual member have against that kind of constant pressure? If they are messaged repeatedly by a representative late into the evening, what recourse do they have? Do they go to HR? No. Can they raise a grievance? No. Is there a formal process to complain? No. Now, thanks to the Government’s decision today, they will not even have the right in law simply to say, “I’m off duty. Leave me alone”.
