Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 May 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

The burden of holding perpetrators to account and of driving change is too great to be shouldered alone by employees who have experienced harassment. These cases are too serious to be dismissed as examples of banter. We know that the vast majority of employers agree that harassment is unacceptable and are working to ensure that their employees are treated with respect. We will go on working in partnership with them towards that shared goal, supporting them with these changes. A wide range of employers in the hospitality sector, such as Hawksmoor and KERB, welcome the new harassment measures that will help create a safe, respectful workplace for everyone.
