Contribution

My Lords, as the noble Lord, Lord Fox, said, here we are, back again. In the ping-pong debate last time, the noble Baroness, Lady Lloyd of Effra, stated: “The Government have engaged extensively with stakeholders on their make work pay reform since August 2024. A major part of this engagement has been to seek the varied views of SMEs. As of 15 October, we had engaged directly with more than 250 stakeholders. This included 139 businesses, of which 75 were SMEs. This approach to engagement will remain throughout the various consultations”.—[Official Report, 28/10/25; col. 1246.]
