Written StatementsToday the Government have announced the next steps in our comprehensive review of employment laws.
The Parliament-long review is to ensure that our employment laws maximise flexibility for both employers and employees without compromising fairness and providing the necessary framework for a competitive business environment and economic growth.
We are today publishing the areas of employment law which we will be among our medium-term priorities for the review. We will consider in detail the case for reform in these areas to ensure they are fit for purpose:
the compensation for discrimination awarded by employment tribunals;
the rules on collective redundancy;
the TUPE regulations.
In addition, the review will consider other suitable ideas that come out of the Red Tape Challenge website and through discussions with interested parties.
