Kevin Hollinrake

Conservative — Thirsk and Malton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 October 2024

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

The point I was making is that the case may go all the way to an employment tribunal, as the hon. Gentleman knows, but there would also be the cost of defending the case even if it does not. That small business will have to bring consultants in and will have to speak to lawyers. That itself costs money, and in many cases that will be thousands of pounds. That is what the hon. Member fails to understand: when you are accused, you lose.
