Employment Rights Bill

Jonathan Reynolds Excerpts

Report stage
Wednesday 12th March 2025 Commons Chamber

Bill read the Third time and passed.

[The Secretary of State for Business and Trade (Jonathan Reynolds)]

On a point of order, Madam Deputy Speaker. It has come to my attention that in a speech that I gave on 28 April 2014, recorded in column 614 of Hansard, on the subject of high-speed rail, I made a reference to my experience of using our local transport system in Greater Manchester when

“I worked as a solicitor in Manchester city centre.”—[Official Report, 28 April 2014; Vol. 579, c. 614.]

I should have made it clear that, specifically, that was a reference to being at the time a trainee solicitor. This was an inadvertent error and, although the speech was over a decade ago, as it has been brought to my attention, I would like to formally correct the record, and I seek your advice on doing so.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

I thank the right hon. Member for giving advance notice of his point of order and for placing his correction on the record.
