Zero-hours Contracts
Debate between Baroness Falkner of Margravine and Baroness Neville-Rolfe
Baroness Neville-Rolfe
I am glad my noble friend mentioned the value of flexibility. We have asked officials to look at issues facing those on zero-hours contracts to see whether any further voluntary or statutory action is necessary because of the sort of points he has made.
Baroness Falkner of Margravine (LD)
My Lords, will the Minister answer my noble friend Lord Stoneham’s point that the Government need to collect the data to be able to get a picture of what is going on with these contracts? Will she at least write to him and place a copy in the Library so that we know what information the Government have?
Baroness Neville-Rolfe
My Lords, I am happy to write with what data we have through the ONS and, indeed, to explain some of the methodological problems in this.
