Speaking in the House of Lords on 13 May 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

We know from the 2021 census that over 2 million people in the UK are juggling work with unpaid care, and that every year more than 1.9 million people in paid employment become unpaid carers. Staying in work while providing unpaid care for a relative or someone else can be incredibly challenging. Those pressures often force hundreds of thousands of people out of work or force them to reduce their hours.
