<p>Zero hours contracts were considered as part of the Review of Modern Working Practices.
The review, and government, both recognise that zero hours contracts have an important
part to play in a modern, flexible labour market and benefit those who cannot or do
not want to work in a regular contract. Banning zero hours contracts altogether would
negatively impact more people than it would help.</p><p> </p><p>We have published
our response to the review which commits to firm action and future legislation where
appropriate. This includes a commitment to provide a right to request a more predictable
contract for all workers, including those on zero hours contracts. We are currently
consulting on how this would work in practice.</p>
