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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to enhance workers’ rights.

Over the past year, we have proven our steadfast commitment to supporting workers across the UK, including raising the national living wage to its highest rate yet, to help with the cost of living.

We remain committed to bringing forward reforms which build on our strong, flexible and dynamic labour market, giving businesses the confidence to create jobs and invest in their workforce and giving workers more choice over how they work.

Numerous Private Members Bills have been introduced on the matter of employment rights, as a result of the PMB ballot in the Common and we are working closely with these members on their proposals.
