Overview

This bill amends the Equality Act 2010, aiming to improve worker protection. The Lords proposed changes, primarily focusing on modifying how a specific aspect of the Act applies to all workers. The Commons subsequently reviewed and amended these proposed changes.

Description

The original bill (Clause 1) was completely removed by the Lords' amendments. The remaining key amendment (Clause 2) alters the scope of a section of the Equality Act 2010. Specifically, it removes the word "all" from a phrase, thereby narrowing the application of a certain provision regarding worker protections within the Equality Act 2010. The exact nature of this provision is not explicitly stated in this limited text. The effect of removing "all" is to limit the application of the protection to a narrower range of workers.

Government Spending

No information on the impact on government spending is provided in the given text.

Groups Affected

The amendments will likely affect workers in the UK, although the precise impact depends on the specific section of the Equality Act 2010 that was modified by removing "all". The changes could either broaden or narrow the protection afforded to workers depending on the original phrasing of the specific section of the Act. Further information is needed to determine the specific groups and their exact impacts.
