Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

There has hitherto been a consensus on opt-in versus opt-out in the delivery of goods and services, particularly financial services. I say gently to Ministers that what is good for the goose is certainly good for the gander. If, in banning opt-out selling in financial services, you have the laudable aim of protecting consumers from being ripped off, then why does that not apply to people making decisions on trade unions based on facts and empirical evidence?
