Speaking in the House of Lords on 21 May 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Importantly, this amendment acknowledges that what may be necessary for one part of a workforce—say, adjusting start times to align with new delivery schedules—could be entirely proportionate and broadly supported, even if not agreed by every individual. It seeks to avoid the perverse situation where one or two dissenting employees could halt a widely supported change, leaving the employer legally exposed, despite having followed a fair and reasonable process.
