Delivery Services: Conditions of Employment
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of bringing forward legislative proposals to protect delivery drivers from exploitative working practices.
- Answer
-
Our Plan to Make Work Pay represents the biggest upgrade of workers' rights in a generation.
The Government does not condone the exploitation of workers in any form and we are committed to strengthening protections for workers. Individuals' entitlement to employment rights is determined by their employment status. Delivery drivers can fall under any one of the three statuses: employee, limb (b) worker, or self-employed.
This Government recognises the complexity of the current employment status framework and we remain committed to reviewing it.
