Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

The Government consider these 10-year review ballots an unnecessary and onerous requirement. These ballots, as we have discovered, can cost tens of thousands of pounds and they are complex to set up. The amendment would reverse the effects of Clause 58 and require a majority of all union members to vote in favour of a political resolution rather than the simple majority, as currently required, to either establish or maintain a political fund.
