Motion type: Other(?)
I beg to move, That this House regrets the combination of the rise in employers’ National Insurance contributions, the impact of the Employment Rights Act 2025, and the regulations that make it more difficult for young people to get their first job;
further regrets the destructive impact that the Government’s policies have had on entry-level, flexible and seasonal work in particular;
also regrets the Government’s plans to give Mayors powers to introduce an overnight visitor levy, making staycations in England less attractive and less affordable, while risking jobs in the tourism and hospitality industries that depend on domestic visitors;
calls on the Government to change course to support summer jobs, flexible working and seasonal work, on which the hospitality, leisure and retail sectors depend;
and further calls on the Government to abolish business rates for high street businesses, to boost the economy and save summer jobs.
