Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether she plans to introduce legislative proposals on extending employment rights in this Parliament.

Protecting and enhancing workers’ rights whilst supporting business to grow remains a priority for this government.

The 2019 manifesto pledged changes to enhance workers' rights and support people to stay in work. The Government is supporting six Private Members Bills, which will deliver on these commitments – helping new parents, unpaid carers, and hospitality workers, giving all employees easier access to flexible working, and giving workers’ a right to request a more predictable working pattern.
