Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Prime Minister, with reference to his Answer to the Rt. hon Member for Holborn and St Pancras at Prime Minister's Questions on 11 January 2023, Official Report, column 554, on what evidential basis he said that the International Labour Organisation supported minimum service levels.

I have been asked to reply. The International Labour Organisation (ILO) recognises minimum service levels can be a sensible solution to protect the public from serious consequences of strikes. Many countries in Europe and around the world who are also signatories to the ILO have minimum service levels in place covering a range of key services.
