Picketing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department has received recent representations from trade unions on the six person limit on pickets; and whether he has considered amending this limit.
Answered by Justin Madders
The Department has not received recent representations from trade unions on the six person limit on pickets. The six person limit is a recommendation contained in a Code of Practice on Picketing; any consequential changes to the Code will be considered following Royal Assent of the Employment Rights Bill.
