Trade Unions: Ballots
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when he plans to introduce the draft code of practice on electronic and workplace balloting for statutory union ballots.
Answered by Kate Dearden
The consultation on the draft Code of Practice on electronic and workplace balloting for statutory union ballots recently closed on 28 January. Officials are in the process of reviewing the responses, and we will publish a formal response in due course.
A final draft of the Code of Practice will be laid in Parliament alongside the statutory instrument to enable these new voting methods to take effect in August 2026.
