tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL3302
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2022 answer text <p>Over the past year, the Government has supported workers across the UK and in the hospitality sector to improve pay, conditions, and employment rights.</p><p>On pay and facing increasing energy costs, we have helped people and businesses with their energy bills. The Energy Bills Support Scheme is supporting millions of households with rising energy costs until April next year. We have also raised the national living wage which will be £10.42 in April 2023. This is the largest ever cash increase and will ensure the lowest paid are fairly rewarded for their contribution to the economy.</p><p>On employment rights and conditions, the Government is backing five Private Members’ Bills to support workers. This includes the Employment (Allocation of Tips) Bill, which will ensure that all tips go to hospitality staff and allows staff to bring a claim to an Employment Tribunal if businesses do not distribute well-earned service charges fairly.</p><p>The Government has also been working closely with the hospitality sector. The Hospitality and Tourism Skills Board is developing guidance for employers on good practice regarding working conditions and employee wellbeing and progression</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan question first answered 21/11/2022 17:18:50 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
