Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will make an estimate of the number people on zero-hour contracts who have taken up second jobs since the introduction of the Exclusivity Terms in Zero Hours Contracts (Redress) Regulations 2015.

BEIS published a post-implementation review for the regulations. The review includes analysis of the Labour Force Survey of people on zero-hour contracts in their main job who have a second job.

The review concluded that the objective of the regulations - to provide redress for individuals affected by employer non-compliance with the ban on exclusivity clauses - had been achieved, with stakeholders viewing the regulations as an important deterrent and effective and proportionate means of realising the policy objective.
