Baroness Noakes (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 May 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I never mentioned spent convictions; I referred merely to the risk of employers taking on ex-offenders. I cannot think of a point I could have made in relation to spent convictions. The issue is these categories of potential employees who a represent higher risk in terms of judgment to employers, and I was using former offenders as one example of that.
