Jack
Dromey MP, Shadow Minister for Labour,
commenting on the Unpaid Work Experience
(Prohibition) Bill 2017-19 to limit unpaid internships to four weeks, said:

“Unpaid
internships disadvantage people from poorer families. It’s simply not fair for
some to get a leg up in their careers when others cannot afford the
opportunity. Labour will ban unpaid internships to ensure no one is prevented
from gaining professional experience because of their background.“
