UK will not sacrifice workers' rights for economic growth - PM's spokesman

LONDON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Britain will not seek to stimulate economic growth at the expense of workers' rights, Prime Minister Boris Johnson's spokesman said on Friday, responding to reports his government was looking at ways to lower labour standards.

"We will continue to look at policies to help and stimulate business growth, innovation and job creations but those policies would never be at the expense of workers' rights," the spokesman said.
