Wera Hobhouse

Liberal Democrat — Bath

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 March 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

Since we were discussing this issue for the best part of the previous Parliament, can I ask the shadow Minister whether there is a misunderstanding about what this part of the Bill does? It is about a preventive duty, not predicting everything that could happen in the hospitality sector, for example. The guidance is to make sure that everybody knows that their workplace will protect people from harassment—that is what an employer needs to do. What is the problem with that?
