In addition, the government has made a commitment not to reduce the standards of workers’ rights from EU laws retained in UK law and will ensure that new legislation changing those laws will be assessed as to whether they uphold this commitment. Any future changes in relation to rights and protections will be subject to the appropriate parliamentary scrutiny – with Parliament and the electorate continuing to hold the Government to account.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Spelthorne answering member printed Kwasi Kwarteng question first answered 11/04/2019 12:11:09 answering member 4134 label Biography information for Kwasi Kwarteng
