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

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what consultation process has taken place on the proposed reforms to ACAS and its staffing structure.

Reform and other business processes are an operational matter for Acas.

Since October 2015 Acas has held regular and in depth discussions with trade union representatives and consulted them as it developed ideas on the reform proposals. Acas listened to what trade union and other colleagues said and took it into account.
