Kings Speech discusses Employment, Business and Transport

In a comprehensive document, we’ve highlighted the main areas that we consider relevant to your organisation and sector and focused on the following Bills:

Employment and Pensions

• Pension Scheme Bill
• Employment Rights Bill
• Draft Equality (Race and Disability) Bill

Business, Corporate, Data and Security

• Planning and Infrastructure Bill
• Cyber Security and Resilience Bill
• Product Safety and Metrology Bill
• Digital Information and Smart Data Bill
• Draft Audit Reform and Corporate Governance Bill

Transport - Rail and Bus

• Better Buses Bill
• High Speed Rail Bill

There is a lot of detail based on the background briefing note published – however, if you simply wish to focus on particular aspects, we’d suggest you focus on the “What does the Bill do” and our “Comments-High Level Summary” sections.

In terms of consultation, our understanding from CBI is that multiple consultations will be launched within the next few months (but the details are yet to be confirmed), particularly in the high priority categories such as day 1 rights to be offered under the Employment Rights bill. We will keep you up to date on how best to contribute to any such consultation as and when we know.
