PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
(13 July 2026)

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether the Government's response to the Make Work Pay consultation on non-disclosure agreements will address staff employed by the overseas franchises of UK schools.

Asked by:
Luke Taylor (Liberal Democrat)

The Government is committed to protecting workers from Non-Disclosure Agreement misuse. The Employment Rights Act 2025 includes a measure that void NDAs in cases of workplace harassment and discrimination.

We recently consulted on the measure and are currently analysing responses. A Government response will be issued in due course.

With regards to overseas franchises of UK schools, they must abide by the domestic laws of the host country.
