We are clear that NDAs must never be used to cover up workplace harassment or discrimination. Reports this week have shown how important that is and the horrific consequences of imbalances of power. The Employment Rights Act 2025 will stop employers using NDAs to silence workers about harassment or discrimination in the workplace, and there is a consultation on going further and analysis of which groups will be included. We are also looking at what we can do about injunctions. I am sure that my hon. Friend the Minister for the Future of Work will be happy to write to her on this issue.

Thousands of prisoners are being released early on condition that they wear a security tag. Is the Minister aware of media reports that hundreds of prisoners are currently simply refusing, once released, to wear a tag? That must be deeply disturbing to the victims of their crime. Would she work with the Ministry of Justice to sort this out?

We work incredibly closely with the Ministry of Justice. The truth is that we inherited a broken system, which we are fixing. What is important is that serious sexual offences are excluded, and we are supporting victims by introducing the toughest ever range of tools, including world first restriction zones.
