The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what discussions he has had with the Public and Commercial Services trade union on the proposed industrial action by workers in his Department.

Answered by Justin Madders

The Public and Commercial Services (PCS) trade union members involved in industrial action are employees of G4S and ISS.

The Government Property Agency (an executive agency of the Cabinet Office) is the contracting authority for the facilities management services delivered through these contracts. No discussions have taken place between Secretary of State for Business and Trade and the PCS on this issue.
