Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on the implications for his policies of the recommendation of the Knight Review on allowing electronic voting for trade union ballots.
Before responding to the Knight Review recommendations, the Government was required by Section 4 of the Trade Union Act 2016 to consult relevant organisations, including professionals from expert associations, to seek their advice and recommendations.
We have done this and are now finalising our consideration of Sir Ken’s recommendations before we issue our response in due course.
