The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps he is is taking to increase awareness among workers of their proposed new rights under Clause 22A of the Employment Rights Bill.

Answered by Justin Madders

The Government will work with organisations such as the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service on updates to their guidance on non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), also known as confidentiality clauses, to ensure that workers and employers understand the changes to the law in relation to NDAs that are introduced through the Employment Rights Bill. The Government will also liaise with employer groups, the legal industry and unions about updates to their guidance and information on NDAs.
