Hospitality Industry and Retail Trade: Working Hours
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what evidence the Department has used to inform the proposed definition of low hours for the purposes of the guaranteed hours provisions; and whether an impact assessment will be published for the retail and hospitality sectors.
Answered by Kate Dearden
The Department has published a comprehensive assessment of the potential impacts of the zero hours contract measures and will publish further analysis in due course. This includes an assessment of the impact of different hours thresholds and the impacts on different sectors.
The government has published its consultation to understand further the impacts that different options could have on employers and workers.
