Written Question
Conditions of Employment
Monday 29th December 2025

Asked by: Lord Berkeley (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government when they plan to publish the consultation on the legal status of workers who are not included in any of the Employment Rights Bill consultations.

Answered by Baroness Lloyd of Effra - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip)

The Government is committed to consulting on employment status as soon as possible. The consultation will seek to address issues with the framework which can enable worker exploitation and leave vulnerable workers without core employment protections, as well as strengthening protections for the self-employed including the right to a written contract and blacklisting protections.

Written Question
British Overseas Territories: Companies
Monday 22nd December 2025

Asked by: Lord Berkeley (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government when all British Overseas Territories will be required to publish public registers of beneficial ownership.

Answered by Baroness Chapman of Darlington - Minister of State (Development)

I refer the Noble Lord to my written ministerial statements on 3 July (UIN HLWS774) and 22 July (UIN HLWS884) which provided an update on progress achieved to date and details of next steps. These issues were most recently discussed at the Joint Ministerial Council, where the Minister for the Overseas Territories and the Economic Secretary to the Treasury again reinforced the need for previously agreed deadlines and commitments to be met, and called for prompt action to do so.

Written Question
HM Courts and Tribunals Service: Electric Bicycles
Tuesday 16th December 2025

Asked by: Lord Berkeley (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Ponsonby of Shulbrede on 18 November 2024 (HL2243), whether they have carried out a risk assessment relating to e-bikes on His Majesty’s Courts and Tribunal Service premises; and if so, what were the dates of the surveys for that risk assessment, and whether they will place a copy of those surveys in the Library of the House.

Answered by Baroness Levitt - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)

Risk-assessment surveys have been conducted at sites where there has been a request to store an e-bike. To date, ten sites have been surveyed, with Brighton Family Court deemed suitable to store e-bikes.

The list of sites surveyed are as follows:

  • Manchester Crown Square – December 2024
  • Newport Magistrates Court - February 2025
  • Bristol Civil Justice Centre – March 2025 (1st Assessment), May 2025 (2nd Assessment)
  • Ipswich Magistrates - March 2025
  • Cardiff Crown - March 2025
  • St Albans Crown / St Albans Magistrates - March 2025
  • Cardiff Magistrates – April 2025
  • Brighton Family Court – June 2025
  • Highbury Magistrates – July 2025
  • Basildon Magistrates - November 2025

The surveys contain sensitive site-related security information which we do not routinely publish and, as a result, copies will not be placed in the Library of the House.

"My Lords, I was very interested in the list of different types of wheeled movement produced by the noble Baroness, Lady Mcintosh of Pickering.
