The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether he plans to introduce collective bargaining in the civil service.

Answered by Georgia Gould

Pay arrangements for civil servants below the Senior Civil Service are delegated to departments as separate employers. Departments each have their own local pay bargaining units to engage with trade unions as departments deal with many different workforce issues.
