Speaking in the House of Commons on 12 March 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

The effect of this amendment is that the Secretary of State’s enforcement powers under Part 5 of the Bill (in particular, the new power to give a notice of underpayment conferred by NC44) will be exercisable in relation to the entitlements of social care workers to be paid in accordance with agreements of a Negotiating Body or regulations made by the appropriate authority. As a result, clause 42, which would have enabled the application of provisions of the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 for the purposes of enforcing those entitlements, is unnecessary.
