Proceeding contribution from Lord Clement-Jones (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 June 2025. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Employment Rights Bill.
Employment Rights Bill
My Lords, the Minister has noticed the strength of feeling across the House in terms of support for some of the freelance amendments. I very much appreciate what the noble Lord, Lord Sharpe of Epsom, said earlier. However, across the Benches there is very strong support for further protection for freelancers. Will one of the options in the Good Work
Review, which the Minister referred to, be the appointment of a freelance commissioner—with all the other aspects that I have mentioned in terms of definition and duties?
