Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Tom Hayes and Sarah Sackman

Tuesday 10th November 2026 Commons Chamber

[Sarah Sackman]

I am proud of the work the Labour Government have done in introducing a once-in-a-generation piece of legislation increasing workers’ rights, but we must ensure that those rights are capable of enforcement. The backlogs in the employment tribunal are ones that I recognise, which is why reform will be necessary and why we are increasing capacity with additional judicial recruitment. We are also seeing additional challenges through the pressures that AI is bringing. Our response needs to be up to the task by ensuring that we introduce our own uses of responsible AI to meet that challenge.
