Conservative — Bognor Regis and Littlehampton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 March 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

The hon. Member knows that I will always support fair process, but the point I was making is that this clause will make it more difficult for employers to take on prison leavers, care leavers, candidates with a non-traditional CV, career changers, and young people who are just looking for that first rung on the jobs ladder. Those people will not be given a fair chance, as employers will see them as too risky, and I hope she will see the risks inherent in the clause.
