The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the answer of 2 January 2026, to Question 99839, on Trade Unions: Facilities Agreements, and with reference to paragraph 233 of the Cabinet Office Guide to Parliamentary Work, if he will provide an overall figure for the (i) percentage and (ii) absolute number of public bodies required to submit facility time data under Schedule 1 but which did not do so, in (a) 2024-25 and (b) 2023-24, broken down by type of public body.

Answered by Anna Turley

Other than what is publicly available under Schedule 1 of the Trade Union (Facility Time Publication Requirements) Regulations 2017, Cabinet Office does not have a list of public bodies that were required to submit facility time data in 2024-25 or 2023-24, and therefore does not hold a list of public bodies who did not submit facility time data.
