Yes, but ban exclusivity clauses and guarantee a minimum number of hours

The Conservative party has shown support for zero-hour contracts with some restrictions. In 2015, they banned exclusivity clauses in zero-hour contracts, which prevented workers from taking on additional work with other employers. This demonstrates their willingness to address some of the issues surrounding these contracts while still supporting their use.
