Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 October 2025
Debate
Employment Rights BillContribution
Motion E, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Sharpe of Epsom, addresses Amendment 23 and Amendments 106 to 120 on unfair dismissal, while Motion E1 insists on those amendments. The amendments look to reduce the qualifying period for bringing an unfair dismissal claim from the current two years to six months. They would also create a new initial period of employment during which regulations can provide for a different test for unfair dismissal and set a lower compensation cap.
