The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will review the dates set out in the Employment Rights Bill Implementation Roadmap to account for the time taken for the Bill's passage.

Answered by Kate Dearden

There will be several phases of delivery following Royal Assent of the Employment Rights Bill. For many measures, Government will consult on the detail of policy and implementation. As set out in the Implementation Roadmap, we will provide more detail on these policies and our timelines for implementation following consultation, with a clear commitment that we aim to work at pace to deliver these benefits to millions of working people.
