Lord Leigh of Hurley (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 30 October 2025

Debate

Public and Private Sector Productivity Trends

Contribution

My Lords, on the point from the noble Lord, Lord Londesborough, would the Minister consider looking at how the figures are compiled? Personally, I think that the contribution from the services sector is underplayed and undervalued in the calculation of productivity. Would the Minister also recognise the contribution from the 13 leading business representative bodies—indeed, pretty much every business in the UK—that the Employment Rights Bill will reduce productivity and growth?
