Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to his Department’s news story of 5 November 2019, Approved Enforcement Agency Services Contract Awarded, whether he will meet with representatives of departmental trade unions to discuss the potential implications of the transfer of staff in relation to those contracts so awarded.

HMCTS has met with, engaged and consulted the departmental trade unions regularly throughout the life of the project to award the Approved Enforcement Agency Services Contract. Officials from HMCTS are happy to meet again to discuss the transfer of staff and will be in touch to arrange.
