Joe Robertson

Conservative — Isle of Wight East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 March 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

The hon. Member is talking about the benefits of her new clause to fathers, but does she accept that the effect of the Bill will be negative and harmful to everyone and to the economy, by stripping £5 billion away from businesses? It is no good that her new clause would be helpful for fathers if the net effect of the Bill is bad for everyone, through the damage done to the economy.
