Mr. David Joyce:

On the world of work, internationally we would look to the International Labour Organization, ILO. While the 2019 ILO declaration for the future of work referenced challenges posed by digitalisation, etc., it is a declaration so there is nothing legally binding from it. The challenge internationally is to get agreement right across the board from countries, and in the ILO between workers, employers and governments, on introducing a standard in this area. It takes so long to get things on the agenda for that discussion and we have heard today the speed at which this is all developing. It is quite a challenge to get something going that would be effective and binding on the international stage beyond governments. Our Government plays an important role internationally in trying to promote such an approach but the challenges are huge.
