I conclude my speech by focusing on the Government’s ambitions to make work pay. Labour’s Plan to Make Work Pay sets out an ambitious agenda to ensure that our employment rights are fit for a modern economy, empower working people and contribute to economic growth. The plan is designed to be pro-business, pro-worker, pro-family and pro-wealth creation. It will boost fairness in the workplace, ensure equality of treatment and opportunity and support low-paid workers. These reforms will strengthen the rights of workers, address the fragmented labour market enforcement framework and support workers in balancing responsibilities outside work. In so doing, the plan will help more people stay in work, make work more secure and family-friendly and improve living standards, putting more money into working people’s pockets. I beg to move.
