Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, whether his Department has any plans to end the employee trade union membership dues check-off system.

The Wales Office is not an employer in its own right. As the Ministry of Justice is the main employer of staff at the Wales Office, I refer the hon Member to the answer given by my hon Friend, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice on 8 April 2014, Official Report, Column 172W.
