Lord Vaux of Harrowden (CB)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 October 2025

Debate

Employment Rights Bill

Contribution

We seem to be missing the point somewhat. The point is that, if this day-one unfair dismissal right comes in, the person will not be employed in the first place. It is not that they will be fired afterwards; it is that the employer will not feel able to take the risk or take a chance on them in the first place.
