Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what recent assessment he has made of staff morale in the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service.

My rt. hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy has not undertaken an assessment of staff morale in the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (Acas).

Acas staff complete the annual Civil Service People Survey and the 2017 survey provides the latest indicator of staff morale. Acas maintained an overall engagement score equal to the median score for the Civil Service.
