That is why in October 2016 my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister asked Matthew Taylor to carry out an independent review to consider employment practices and whether they need to change to keep pace with modern business models. We are now considering the report and will respond in full later in the year.</p> answering member printed Lord Prior of Brampton question first answered 18/10/2017 14:50:21 answering member 127 label Biography information for Lord Prior of Brampton
