Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Richard Bacon (Conservative). It was answered on Thursday, 9 January 2020 on behalf of the Department for Exiting the European Union.


Employment Rights

Question

Does the Secretary of State agree that, contrary to what the hon. Member for Bedford (Mohammad Yasin) said, we need dynamic alignment like a hole in the head? The purpose of Brexit is to enable us to make our own laws and rules, set our own taxes and chart our own course.

Answer

My hon. Friend has championed Parliament’s taking control of these issues for many years, and he is absolutely right: it is for this House to determine the standards, and we should have confidence in its ability to do so.
