The government said that employers would be banned from using non-repatriation agreements (NDAs), which give silence to the victims of sexual misconduct or discrimination.
An amendment to the Employment Rights Bill, which is expected to enact law later this year, will zero any privacy agreements to prevent workers from speaking about harassment or discrimination allegations.
Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rener said that this “time we stamped this practice”.
The use of NDAS to cover criminality, Hollywood Mogul Harvey Venstein’s former assistant Zelda Perkins has been in the news since, broke the NDA in 2017 to accuse him of sexual exploitation.
Recently, now the deceased Mohammad Al Fayed, who was the owner of the Harrods, was accused of deploying segments of privacy, who accused them of rape and abuse to silence women.
An NDA is a legally binding document that protects confidential information between the two sides. They can be used to protect intellectual property or other commercially sensitive information, but their uses have spread over the years.
Ms. Perkins started campaigning for changes in law more than seven years ago.
Now the campaign group can run the group that cannot buy my silence and it is said that the amendment has marked the “huge milestone” and it is shown that the government heard and understood and understood the misuse of power.
But he said that the victory is “of people who broke their NDA, who put everything at risk to tell the truth when they were told that they could not do”.
Changes in law will bring the UK to some provinces in Ireland, the United States and Canada, which have banned such agreements from being used to prevent the disclosure of sexual harassment and discrimination.
Ms. Perkins said that when the law was welcomed, it was important “to ensure that the rules are watertite and no one can be forced into silence again”.
Employment Rights Minister Justin Maders said that “misuse of NDA was” to give silence to the victims, which he called “a terrible practice”.
“These amendments will give millions of workers confident that inappropriate behavior will be hidden, not hidden, which will allow them to receive a rich and successful career with making a rich and successful career,” he said, “he said.
When the Employment Rights Bill returns to the House of Lords on 14 July and if passed, the companions will also need to be approved by MPs.
