Unite: Annual Reports

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether the Certification Officer has made an assessment of when Unite will submit full accounts for publication on gov.uk, including backdated accounts.

Answer

The Certification Office has received Unite the Union’s annual return for 2021. Publication of that return is currently being held pending the conclusion of related statutory processes, which are nearing their conclusion. Once those processes have concluded, the Certification Officer will arrange publication in the usual way.

In respect of Unite’s other outstanding annual returns, the Certification Officer remains in regular dialogue with the union regarding their submission. The Certification Officer expects the receipt and publication of those returns to follow the publication of the 2021 return.
