Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they intend that the UK will remain closely aligned to EU standards on workers’ rights in the event of a no-deal Brexit.
This question was answered on 13th March 2019
The UK has a long-standing record of ensuring that workers’ rights are protected. This includes employment and equality rights and protections for health and safety at work. The decision to leave the European Union does not change this. This Government has made a firm commitment to protect workers’ rights, and to maintain protections covered in the Equality Acts.
