Speaking in the House of Lords on 29 April 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

This is really bad. I cannot believe that a Cabinet committee has allowed this Bill to evolve in the way that it has, apart from the message given by the Deputy Prime Minister—by the way, it is an office I have held myself, admittedly for a lot shorter time than the current Deputy Prime Minister. Nevertheless, it should matter to the Deputy Prime Minister and it should matter to the Cabinet committee how they are drafting legislation. For a start, we are already deleting stuff that has been put in at various stages along the way in order to put in, I suggest, even more nebulous words. That really concerns me about this approach.
