Conservative — Bridgwater

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 May 2025

Debate

Education, Employment and Training: Kensington and Bayswater

Contribution

The Government’s own impact assessment of their Employment Rights Bill says that it will increase the cost to businesses by £5 billion, which will be borne mostly by small businesses. Does the Minister share my concern that, when combined with the additional national insurance charges on employers, that will reduce the opportunities for young people in my constituency just as much as for young people in Kensington and Bayswater?
