Kemi Badenoch will take aim at Labour’s employment rights legislation on Monday, arguing that scrapping it would be the “cheapest pro-growth measure” the Chancellor could take at the Budget.

She is expected to say the Employment Rights Bill is “the single most complained-about measure” she hears when she speaks to businesses, in a speech at the CBI’s annual conference in central London.
