A Bill to amend the Employment Rights Act 1996 to provide that disclosures of information about malpractice to a Member of Parliament where the disclosure is in the public interest be included as protected disclosures; and for connected purposes.
This Bill would add disclosures about malpractice made to a Member of Parliament, when the disclosure is in the public interest, to the list of protected whistleblowing disclosures under the Employment Rights Act 1996. If passed, workers who reveal malpractice to an MP in the public interest would gain whistleblower protections and be shielded from dismissal or unfair treatment.
The Bill is currently at the second reading in the House of Commons. If it passes this stage, it would move on to detailed examination in a committee stage.
