Speaking in the House of Lords on 10 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

While these changes are intended to improve clarity and fairness in industrial action procedures, the Government must carefully consider the wider implications of lowering turnout thresholds or extending validity periods. They go too far. We must protect both workers’ rights and collective action and the need for transparency and confidence in the process. I look forward to the Minister’s response on these points and potential refinement of these positions in further meetings. I beg to move.
