Proceeding contribution from Lincoln Jopp (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 September 2025. It occurred during Debate on Employment Rights: Impact on Businesses.


Employment Rights: Impact on Businesses

I think I am right in saying that the impact assessment’s estimate of a cost of £5 billion was at the higher end, but I read out quite an extensive set of quotations from the RPC saying that it was an inadequate impact assessment and that it completely under-gunned the financial impact of the measures. Does she just think that the RPC is wrong?
