Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HM Treasury has made an assessment of the economic impacts of the Employment Rights Act.

Government’s economic analysis of the Employment Rights Act 2025 was published by the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade and other departments in January 2026: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/employment-rights-bill-impact-assessments. The Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade also publishes further assessments when consulting on proposed regulations, for which Government has laid out a timeline in the Act’s timeline update.
