Lord Leong (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 May 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I thank the noble Lord for giving way. I appreciate what he has said. We are all for parliamentary scrutiny of the Bill—we welcome it. We welcome every single amendment and clause being scrutinised. The Government believe that the delegated powers in the Bill are necessary. I am pleased, as the noble Lord will have noted, that the DPRRC found it “heartening that in a Bill with so many … powers it has only found four on which to raise concerns”. The Government will respond formally in due course to the DPRRC.
