Conservative — Bognor Regis and Littlehampton

Speaking in the House of Commons on 21 October 2024

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

I absolutely agree with my right hon. Friend that detail is precisely what is needed for the Bill to be implemented effectively. In my constituency, seasonal employers such as theme parks are at the mercy of the British weather and a short season. On a rainy day takings will be minimal, and managing costs accordingly is vital to remain viable. Moreover, the student and retired populations in my constituency value the flexibility that those contracts offer. The Bill will disincentivise employers from offering short-term opportunities and reduce employment options for those who depend on temporary work.
