Rayner Urges MPs to Work Nights, Block Hereditary Peers
Update: 2025-12-16
Description
Angela Rayner urges MPs to work through the night to prevent hereditary peers in the House of Lords from delaying a crucial employment rights bill. The bill is caught in a back-and-forth between the two houses, with a vote set for Tuesday. Rayners impassioned plea comes after a government defeat in the Lords last week. Meanwhile, members of parliament voted to remove a cap on unfair dismissal compensation, overturning a previous vote in the Lords. Six business groups also call on the peers to end delays, fearing the compromise reached with trade unions could be jeopardized.
