National Security Council
Asked by: Liam Byrne (Labour - Birmingham Hodge Hill and Solihull North)
Monday 4th November 2024

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the written statement entitled Cabinet Committees, published on 10 October 2024, HCWS118, for what reason the National Security Council Economic Security sub-committee has been abolished; and what steps are being taken to co-ordinate economic security policy.

Answered by Abena Oppong-Asare - Parliamentary Secretary (Cabinet Office)

The body referred to in the Rt Hon. Members' question was one of a number of sub-Committees of the National Security Council (NSC). Since July 2024 the National Security Council itself considers economic security, as part of its broader strategic approach to national security including foreign policy, resilience, international relations, economic security, trade, development, defence and global issues.

Economic security is a priority for this Government, and we have taken a number of steps to coordinate economic security policy through the NSC and by embedding economic security into the Government’s Industrial Strategy to support long-term stability. Economic Security is a core concern of the Growth Mission Board and our work with international partners.

Select Committee Inquiry
31 Oct 2024
Make Work Pay: Employment Rights Bill
Business and Trade Committee (Select)

Submit Evidence (by 6 Dec 2024)


The newly re-formed Business and Trade Committee is launching its first call for evidence on the Government’s new flagship Employment Rights Bill.

The new Government has announced a comprehensive overhaul of employment law in what it is calling the ‘biggest upgrade to workers’ rights in a generation.’  The ‘Plan to Make Work Pay’ sets out the Government’s agenda to boost wages, reduce insecure work and grow Britain’s economy. 

The wide-ranging Bill currently passing through Parliament (you can track its progress here) sets out to: 

  • Ban exploitative zero-hours contracts 
  • End ‘Fire and Rehire’ and ‘Fire and Replace’ 
  • Make parental leave, sick pay and protection from unfair dismissal a day one right 
  • Strengthen statutory sick pay 
  • Make flexible working the default from day one 
  • Strengthen protections for pregnant women and new mothers returning to work  
  • Strengthen protections from sexual harassment at work 
  • Strengthen legislation around the allocation of tips 
  • Strengthen protections around collective redundancy 
  • Introduce a new right to bereavement leave 
  • Establish a new Single Enforcement Body, called the Fair Work Agency 
  • Establish Fair Pay Agreements in the adult social care sector 
  • Reinstate the School Support Staff Negotiating Body 
  • Upgrade Trade Union legislation

The Committee is launching this inquiry, which will take written and oral evidence with a view to informing the later stages of the Bill’s passage through Parliament, to help assess whether it will achieve these aims. Areas to consider include: 

  • How the Bill will contribute to the Government’s stated goal of achieving the fastest growth in the G7.
  • Whether the Employment Rights Bill will adequately protect workers, improve security at work and raise living standards in every part of the country.
  • The impact the Bill will have on businesses, in particular investment rates, start-up rates, the supply of labour and the employment rate.
  • How to ensure adequate protection against exporting poor labour standards, including concerns over forced labour in international supply chains.

Business and Trade Committee (Select)
Not accepting submissions

Our role as the House of Commons Business and Trade Committee is to shine a light on issues in business and trade policy. This is an opportunity to inform our work and tell us where to look. 

We want to know your views on the Government’s goals to:

  • Become the economy with the fastest sustained economic growth in the G7.
  • Deliver a ‘pro-business, pro-worker’ agenda with rising living standards in every part of the United Kingdom.
  • Develop closer trading relationships with others, including with the European Union.
  • Maintain the UK’s status as a global leader in protecting consumers.

The Business and Trade Committee (BTC) is looking to scrutinise the most important topics that could help the UK reach the fastest sustainable growth in the G7. This will allow us to create practical recommendations for the Department for Business and Trade to deliver change.

We are looking to hear from as many of the following groups across the UK in November and December 2024:

  • Businesses
  • Consumer Groups
  • Trade Unions
  • Local Government
  • Academics

The Committee would welcome your thoughts on these matters. Please check back to this page in the coming days to find a link to the survey.
