Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what assessment his Department has of the impact of the provisions of the Employment Rights Act 2025 on the number of young people who are not in education, employment or training.

The Government, in consultation with experts and business, has published 29 Impact Assessments which comprehensively outline the expected impacts of the Employment Rights Act: Employment Rights Act 2025: impact assessments - GOV.UK.

Our analysis shows that the Employment Rights Act will help increase employment and benefit over 18 million workers, with young workers being some of the largest beneficiaries of the Act.
