The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 12 September 2024 to Question 4654 on Public Sector: Trade Unions, what the Government's policy is on check-off; and how many departments (a) charge trade unions for levying check-off and (b) have no check-off arrangements.

Answered by Georgia Gould

I refer the Rt. Hon. Member to the answer given to PQ 4654 on 12 September 2024.

Data on check-off provisions in the Civil Service can be found in the impact assessment published under the previous administration alongside The Trade Union (Deduction of Union Subscriptions from Wages in the Public Sector) Regulations 2024. This data was collected prior to the regulations coming into effect.
