The event has caused debate, with politicians and academics criticising the approach to the labour laws and highlighting the differences in legal standards that govern the two cities. In response, the government says that on Thursday, when the Labour government takes power, it will set out the UK’s legal approach to working life as part of a series of action plan on how the country will handle these changes.
