Employment Rights BillContribution
Where guidance, voluntary standards and sector-specific codes can offer a more proportionate route, we should favour them over legislative prescription. Our shared goal should be to create and foster trust, responsibility and innovation, not to create barriers that could slow progress and reduce opportunity for both business and workers. Having said that, to reiterate the point, I understand the intention behind all these amendments, but I hope we have made our position clear.
