answer text <p>The oral statement referred to was to bring to the notice of the House the publication of the independent Matthew Taylor Review of Modern Working Practices. Zero hours contracts are just one example of a working practice in the UK labour market and Matthew in his review has considered the labour market as a whole. I refer the noble Lord to the full transcript of the <a href="http://hansard.parliament.uk/lords/2017-07-11/debates/805C6758-D847-475F-98D2-49F75499FAF8/TaylorReviewOfModernWorkingPractices" target="_blank">statement</a> where zero hours contracts are discussed.</p><p> </p><p>This Government will give the report the careful consideration it deserves and will respond in full later this year.</p> more like this
