The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business and Trade (Kate Dearden)

I am having quite the outing today, Madam Deputy Speaker! I welcome the question from my hon. Friend, whose business experience as the chief executive of an international trade association gives him acute insight into this topic. This Government are committed to tackling the pressing issues with the current employment status framework, and we will publish our consultation as soon as possible. The consultation will seek to address issues with the framework that can enable worker exploitation and leave vulnerable workers without core employment protections.
