Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether his Department offers protection to staff from unfair dismissal from their first working day.

HMT staff must have completed 2 years’ service to be protected against unfair dismissal.

The new Employment Rights Bill will amend the law on unfair dismissal to protect staff from their first working day.

HMT will implement this legislative change when it comes into force.
