There is no Government plan to reduce workers’ rights, Kwasi Kwarteng has said.
The newly appointed Business Secretary assured MPs the Government will not row back on the 48-hour weekly working limit, adding that on his watch, “there will be no reduction in workers’ rights”.
His comments came as Labour warned a better deal for working people is “essential” as the UK emerges from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Shadow employment rights secretary Andy McDonald made the plea as he moved a Commons motion urging for all existing employment rights and protections to be maintained, including the 48-hour working week, and for legislation to end fire and rehire tactics.
