Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether his Department will publish an updated assessment of the cost to retail employers resulting from the Employment Rights Act 2025.

The Government has published a comprehensive package of analysis on the Employment Rights Act, including analysis of the impacts on the retail sector: Employment Rights Act 2025: impact assessments - GOV.UK.

We will continue to publish analysis to support relevant consultations and final policy decisions to meet the Better Regulation Framework requirements.
