To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what recent assessment he has made of the applicability of the provisions of the Trade Union Bill to officials of the devolved administrations.
Nicholas Boles
The Minister for Universities and Science, Minister of State (Department for Business, Innovation and Skills) (Jointly with the Department for Education)
The Trade Union Act 2016 is about employment and industrial relations law, which are reserved matters. The Act will apply to public sector officials across Great Britain in the same manner, and therefore no specific assessment has been made of its applicability to officials of the devolved administrations.
