Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Anthony Browne and Laurence Robertson

Thursday 16th May 2024 Commons Chamber

[Anthony Browne]

In addition to my earlier answer, I should point out that the P&O case is being investigated by the Insolvency Service, and I await the outcome of that investigation. The point of the code of practice is to ensure that fire and rehire is very much a last resort. If employers breach the code, their employees can get up to 25% greater compensation. The Government have made sure that is the case.

[Mr Laurence Robertson (Tewkesbury) (Con)]
