Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 May 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

This clause is a solution in search of a problem. I have described Clause 20 as the “banter ban”, because I believe employers will interpret it as meaning that they have to protect their employees from overhearing jokes, remarks or expostulations that they may find offensive by virtue of their protected characteristics.
