Proceeding contribution from Baroness Primarolo (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 12 May 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Covid-19: Strategy.


Covid-19: Strategy

My Lords, I refer to my declared interests. I want to return to the question of safety in the workplace. Does the Leader not agree that to provide clarity and simplicity the Government should now agree to make Covid-19 safety standards in the workplace legally enforceable, thus ensuring that employers that implement the safety standards are not undercut by those that do not and, importantly, that employees have a quick resolution of disputes about the safety of their workplace and confidence that their health and well-being are protected without delay so that they can continue to be in their workplace safely?
