Labour — Ellesmere Port and Bromborough

Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 March 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I am asking the shadow Minister to give way, but the right hon. Member for Aldridge-Brownhills (Wendy Morton) could have intervened on me during my speech. One of the reasons why there is so much confusion about the definition of a small business is that the shadow Minister moved an amendment in Committee that said that a small business “means an organisation or person employing 500 or fewer employees”.––[Official Report, Employment Rights Public Bill Committee, 3 December 2024; c. 177.] So if there is any confusion, it is on the Conservative Benches.
