Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Georgia Gould and Lincoln Jopp

Thursday 6th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Georgia Gould]

I thank my hon. Friend for raising this critical issue. The Employment Rights Bill will introduce new measures that will give staff and their chosen trade union a meaningful shot at gaining statutory recognition. I hope those provisions will ensure that GMB Union members across the country can have their voices heard in their workplaces.

T7.???In?a speech in December, the Minister said that he wanted to put bureaucracy on more of a �start-up� footing with a Silicon Valley vibe, and that in order to achieve that he was going to send teams�indeed, not just teams, but crack teams�to Manchester, Liverpool, Sheffield and Essex in order to test, learn, and fix by Friday. I have a simple question: in those three months, how many of those crack teams have gone in, what have they tested, what have they learned, and what have they fixed by Friday?
