The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will amend his Department's public sector facility time data collection to include trade union diversity time.

Answered by Satvir Kaur

Departments facility time data publications, were based on Schedule 2 of the Trade Union (Facility Time Publication Requirements) Regulations 2017, which specified what data needed to be collected and reported.

This did not include a specific category for the collection and reporting of time spent by trade union representatives on diversity matters. The Regulations were repealed under Section 66 of the Employment Rights Act 2025.
