Written Question
Employment Rights Bill
Tuesday 17th June 2025

Asked by: Peter Lamb (Labour - Crawley)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he plans to produce an implementation plan to support (a) employers and (b) the wider enforcement system with the implementation of Employment Rights Bill provisions.

Answered by Justin Madders - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade)

The Government will consult extensively on the implementation of the legislation to ensure it works for workers and employers alike, and anticipates this meaning the majority of reforms will take effect no earlier than 2026. Our forthcoming Employment Rights Bill Implementation Roadmap will set out further detail on our plans. The Roadmap will support businesses and other stakeholders to adapt to changes ahead of their commencement.
