Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 May 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Noble Lords will note that I have also proposed Amendment 83, which would limit the definition of harassment in exactly this way in all parts of the Equality Act, not just with respect to third-party harassment. In my view, that would go some way to revising the chilling effect that the Equality Act has had in the workplace, with employees having to look over their shoulders before saying what they really think about the Israel-Palestine conflict, gender-neutral toilets or climate change.
