One of Labour’s biggest promises during the General Election campaign was a so-called ‘New Deal for Working People’, launched within its first 100 days in office.
Right on schedule, the new government has published legislation it says will deliver on that promise.
Getting these reforms right will go a long way to determining whether Labour’s time in office is a success. The government doesn’t have much money to spend in ways that will have an immediate impact on people’s lives. These new laws are aimed at doing that – at no upfront cost to the public purse.
