Labour Policy Impact Hub
As the Labour Party launches its policies, several employment and immigration law changes are taking place.
Employment law and immigration were central themes in the party's manifesto, and we can now expect significant legislative changes in these areas. Our Labour policy impact hub features our detailed analysis of the expected reforms and their likely implications for businesses. We’ll be keeping our hub updated as the new government reveals more details.
