Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has made an assessment of whether the processes used by Uber to deactivate drivers from its platform complies with UK employment law.

The Government does not make individual assessments of companies' compliance with employment law. The Supreme Court's 2021 ruling on Uber drivers established that many drivers should be classified as workers with corresponding rights under UK employment law. Enforcement of employment law is undertaken by appropriate regulatory bodies including HMRC for National Minimum Wage, the Employment Agency Standards Inspectorate, and ultimately the employment tribunal system.

Any worker who believes their rights have been breached can seek redress through an employment tribunal, which determines compliance on a case-by-case basis.
