Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 June 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

This is a practical and proportionate change. Too often, early-stage employment disputes escalate simply because individuals lack the right kind of support and representation. By allowing access to trained, certified companions, Amendment 137 in my name would help resolve matters more effectively and reduce the number of cases progressing unnecessarily to tribunal. That would not only benefit workers and employers but help to ease the strain on the tribunal system.
