Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will take steps to ensure that the employment rights contained in the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 will be (a) protected in the long-term and (b) retained in legislation.

As a Government, we have been clear that we will do nothing to undermine workers’ rights. All law in this area at the time of exit will be brought under UK law as part of the Great Repeal Bill, ensuring continuity.
