Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the Written Statement of 23 June 2022 on Business Update, Official Report, HCWS137, whether he has had recent discussions with representatives of the (a) Welsh Government, (b) Wales TUC, (c) CBI Wales and (d) Secretary of State for Wales on the Senedd's Trade Union (Wales) Act 2017.
While we continue to work with the Welsh Government in a number of areas, it has always been the case that employment and industrial relations law is a reserved matter for the UK Government.
It is right that we seek to apply trade union law equally and fairly across Britain to ensure that services, such as train lines, are run as effectively as possible.
