Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 June 2025
Debate
Employment Rights BillContribution
I conclude by saying that the net benefit to employees, I would argue, is minimal, but the cost to certainty and proportionality is high. The protective award is an important tool, but it must remain proportionate, targeted and fair. A 90-day cap already represents a significant financial consequence for non-compliance. Doubling it will not double the benefit; it will only double the risk.
