Employment Rights Act 2025 (Investigatory Powers) (Consequential Amendments) Regulations 2026Contribution
I also raise the question of the Equality and Human Rights Commission. The Government have pointed to the FWA as a mechanism to reduce duplication in the enforcement landscape. I welcome the goal of coherence, but can the Minister explain precisely what duplication exists under the present system that the new agency will remedy? How can she address directly the concern, raised by the Equality and Human Rights Commission itself, that Schedule 4 to the Employment Rights Act opens the door to extending the Fair Work Agency’s remit into discrimination law?
