Former Labour business minister Justin Madders said it pained him to see a manifesto commitment “jettisoned” but commended the minister on finding a way through the deadlock.
He added: “The Lords cannot keep coming back because they don’t like what is in this bill, because this is a promise that we made to the British people, and we have to deliver on it. We have to let democracy win.”
The bill is currently stuck in what’s known as “ping pong”, because it is passing between the Lords and the Commons. This was the third time peers had sent the bill back to MPs with suggested changes.
Business Minster Kate Dearden said the legislation was “pro-growth” and “a win-win for employers, employees and a more competitive British economy”.
She said better employment rights would “end the unfair market competition in which some firms seek to beat their competitors not by better quality or increased value, but by cutting the pay and conditions of their workforce”.
However, Griffith accused Dearden of signing “the warrant for a war on jobs” and a “charter for a jobless generation”, claiming “thousands of young people will struggle for opportunities because the rungs of the ladder have been sawn off”.
Liberal Democrat business spokeswoman Sarah Olney criticised the change to compensation for unfair dismissal, claiming it had been “snuck in at the last minute”.
