Proceeding contribution from Angela Rayner (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 December 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill on Employment Rights Bill.


Employment Rights Bill

Some of the wealthiest are blocking measures on sick pay for some of the lowest earners, which will miss the April deadline. Should we not get on—go through the night if we have to—and get this Bill passed?
