This was a lords amendment on the Employment Rights Bill. This bill would ensure that UK nationals who work in the UK or who are members of a trade union have employment rights that are at least as good as those for foreign nationals, and it would operate even if European law changes. It aims to prevent UK workers from being disadvantaged in the UK labour market because of nationality.
•Protects UK nationals’ employment rights notwithstanding the European Communities Act 1972.
•Covers workers and trade union members who are UK nationals.
•Rights must be equal to or more favourable than those for foreign nationals.
•Originates in the Commons and is currently at the 2nd reading stage, with Lords amendments and government responses through late-2025.
