The European Union (Withdrawal) Bill will ensure that workers’ rights enjoyed under EU law will continue to be available in UK law after we have left the EU.</p><p> </p><p>However, we do not need to be part of the EU to have strong protections for workers. The UK already goes beyond EU minimum standards in a number of employment areas, such as entitlement to annual leave, paid parental leave and provisions for flexible working. According to health and safety at work statistics, the UK is one of the safest places to work in the EU, based on its proportionate and risk-based approach to health and safety regulation.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 14/11/2017 14:10:58 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker
