Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 January 2026

Debate

School Support Staff Negotiating Body

Contribution

In 2010 the Tories scrapped the School Support Staff Negotiating Body. In Labour’s first 100 days in government, we legislated to bring it back. With the Employment Rights Act 2025 now passed, we expect the SSSNB to start operating later this year. We on the Government Benches value the vital role that support staff play. They deserve a voice at the table and, under Labour, they will get one.
