Answered by Justin Madders

The Government has noted the Regulatory Policy Committee’s opinion on the Impact Assessment for the Employment Rights Bill.

It has always been the Government’s intention to refine our analysis as policy development continues, working closely with external experts, businesses, trade unions and the Regulatory Policy Committee.

As is standard, Government will publish updated Option Assessments and Impact Assessments alongside future consultations and secondary legislation to meet our Better Regulation requirements.
