- Final Signatures: 16
Workers, during six hours of toil should be entitled to one 30-minute break and one 10-15 minute break, or within eight hours of toil a 40-minute break and two 10-15 minutes breaks. The current 20 min for 6 hours is inadequate.

Make remote working, where possible, a statutory employment right
- Final Signatures: 39
The government should make it so that remote working requests must be honoured as standard and only in cases where it is impossible for the job to be done remotely should the request be denied. By making it a requestable right, only those who it would suit would access it.
Bleed kits can be the difference between life or death in the event of a catastrophic puncture wound.
These kits are cheap and compliment traditional first aid equipment in locations with higher risks of such events occurring, early intervention would certainly reduce the amount of fatalities.
