Trade Union Recognition
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what his planned timetable is for publishing a consultation on lowering the proportional threshold for trade union recognition.
Answered by Justin Madders
The Employment Rights Bill has a power that enables Ministers to bring forward secondary legislation to vary the trade union recognition application threshold from 10% to 2% trade union membership of the bargaining unit.
No decision has yet been made by the Government as to whether or when to exercise this power. Therefore, there is no planned timetable for consulting on it at present.
