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.
