To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what progress he has made on implementing recommendations from the Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices on (a) self-employment and (b) independent work.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what progress he has made on implementing recommendations from the Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices on (a) self-employment and (b) independent work.
While the Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices continues to be a valuable resource, the government is focused on delivering the plan to Make Work Pay to bring employment rights legislation into the 21st century. This includes measures to support the self-employed with new legislation on late payments that will ensure small businesses and the self-employed are paid on time. The government is also exploring additional measures to strengthen protections for the self-employed including the right to a written contract.
The government is also committed to consulting on employment status in due course, which was raised in the Review.

The Taylor Review was published in 2017 and while it continues to be a valuable contribution to the debate on working practices, this Government is focused on delivering our plan to Make Work Pay.
Once implemented, our Plan to Make Work Pay will represent the biggest upgrade of workers’ rights in a generation. It will raise the minimum floor of employment rights, raise living standards across the country and level the playing field for those businesses that are already engaged in good practices.

The existing legislation and enforcement are sufficiently robust to ensure that workers undertaking work experience or internships should get the minimum wage to which they are legally entitled. HMRC have contacted over 3,200 employers advertising unpaid internships to ensure they are compliant with the law. Where HMRC come to the view that the arrangements constitute “work” under National Minimum Wage regulations, they will require the employer to pay any arrears to the worker, in addition to penalties of up to 200% of the arrears.
We are taking forward a number of reforms, as the hon. Member is aware. There is a private Member’s Bill, the Employment Relations (Flexible Working) Bill, which includes a day-one right to request flexible working, as well as the right to request predictable terms and conditions, which is one of the recommendations of the Taylor review. I think he should welcome those kinds of measures.

I welcome the Scottish Government’s recent announcement that workers’ rights will be a key element of a written constitution when Scotland becomes an independent nation. That is in stark contrast to this place, where this Government have legislated for only seven of the 53 recommendations of the Taylor review. When will they legislate for the other 46?

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what progress his Department has made on implementing the recommendation of the Taylor Review to ensure that the same basic principles should apply to all forms of employment in the British economy.
The Government is clear that everyone deserves to be treated fairly at work and rewarded for their contribution to the economy, both in terms of fair pay and fair working conditions.
We announced on the 9th May that we will bring forward employment status guidance to help clarify the existing status boundaries. This will make it easier for individuals and businesses, including for those in the gig economy, to understand which employment rights apply to them, enhancing worker protections whilst maintaining flexibility and ensuring a level playing field within the labour market.

Earlier this year we increased the National Living Wage, putting £1,000 more a year in the pay packets of those who need it most. Programmes offered by the Department for Education and the Department for Work and Pensions are helping to up-skill workers, allowing them to progress in work and thrive in the labour market.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what progress his Department has made on implementing the recommendation of the Taylor Review to ensure more attainable ways for employees to strengthen their future work prospects.
The opportunity to progress in work is any integral part of job quality and the Government has taken steps since the publication of the Taylor Review to help workers improve their prospects to progress in work. The Department for Work and Pensions recently launched an in-work progression offer to support low paid universal credit claimants in work to progress and increase their earnings. This support will be provided by work coaches and will focus on removing barriers to progression, helping people identify skills gaps and relevant training, helping people look for progression opportunities in their current role, and consider changing roles or sectors. Furthermore, low-paid workers are eligible for training funded by the Department for Education, who maintain a suite of skills programmes to help all workers boost skills and prospects.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to protect workers' rights in the retail and distribution sector in response to the Taylor Review.
We are committed to supporting all workers across the UK and have recently brought forward several reforms which will help protect workers in the retail and distribution sector.
In April 2022 we made sure 2.5 million people received a pay rise raising the National Minimum and National Living Wages. This was the largest ever cash increase to the National Living Wage and will put over £1,000 a year into a full-time workers’ pay packet, helping to ease cost of living pressures.
Additionally, on 6 July we brought forward legislation to widen the ban on exclusivity clauses, which restrict staff from working for multiple employers, to contracts where the guaranteed weekly income is equivalent to or below the Lower Earnings Limit of £123 a week.

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress his Department has made on implementing the recommendation of the Taylor Review on ensuring that the taxation of labour is consistent across all employment forms.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what progress his Department has made on implementing the recommendation of the Taylor Review on ensuring that the taxation of labour is consistent across all employment forms.
The Government recognises that differences in tax treatment for individuals across employment forms can have a fiscal impact and affect how people and businesses choose to provide or take on labour.
Good progress has been made in ensuring different forms of labour are taxed more consistently by, for example, addressing non-compliance with the off-payroll working rules, also known as IR35, which are designed to ensure that individuals working like employees but through their own company, usually a personal service company, pay broadly the same Income Tax and National Insurance contributions as those who are directly employed.
The Government announced a 1.25 percentage point increase in all dividend tax rates alongside the Health and Social Care levy, to ensure that those with dividend income make a contribution on that income in line with the contribution made by employees and the self-employed on their earnings.
The Government continues to keep all aspect of the tax system under review and any decisions on future changes will be taken as part of future fiscal events and in the context of wider public finances.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans he has to implement the outstanding recommendations of the Taylor Review.
We have made significant progress in implementing the recommendations of the Taylor Review, including closing the loophole which saw agency works employed on cheaper rates than permanent workers; quadrupling the maximum fine for employers who treat their workers badly; and giving all workers the right to receive a statement of their rights from day one.
The Government is committed to building on this record to deliver a high skilled, high productivity, high wage economy that delivers on our ambition to make the UK the best place in the world to work.
