My hon. Friend raises a really important point, but it is a complex issue, and there is complexity to the background as well, so it is only right that we take the time to consider how best to achieve a change that works for everybody. We will certainly bring proposals forward in due course.
Janet Daby (Lewisham East) (Lab) [V]
The Government have previously pledged that they will bring forward an employment Bill to make the UK
“the best place in the world to work.”
If that is true, can the Minister tell us why we are yet to see a Bill—or has it been kicked down the road indefinitely?
Paul Scully
No, it has not been kicked down the road. We are clear that any reforms we bring forward will be required to consider the needs of our labour market today. That is why we are continuing to work with stakeholders to understand the needs and challenges of modern workplaces, to ensure that our vision of the labour market is fit for purpose. We will bring forward the employment Bill in due course.
