Lord Fox (LD)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 March 2025

Debate

National Minimum Wage (Amendment) Regulations 2025

Contribution

May I just take the Minister back to before the Division, when we were starting to talk about the fair work agency? Either she has nothing more to tell us or it somehow got lost in the wash. Her response was somewhat thematic but really short on process. It is not clear to me how the fair work agency will be juxtaposed with other enforcement activities. In her answer to the noble Lord, Lord Sikka, the Minister talked about the role of HMRC. Will HMRC no longer have that role? If not, will the fair work agency have access to the data that HMRC has in order to make its prosecutions? That is just one of the outstanding queries about how this new agency will operate in the context of enforcing this important change.
