Proceeding contribution from Euan Stainbank (Labour) 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 welcome the Minister to her place. She is making an excellent point, but I refer her to specific sectors in which some Opposition parties have called for carve-outs. Does she agree that it is important that we do not carve out, for any particular sector, the strong provisions in the Bill, and that it is both morally and economically wrong to say to a young worker that if they work behind a bar, they should have fewer rights than if they worked behind a desk?
