Public Bodies: Facilities Agreements

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the answer of 30 June 2026, to Question 13194, on Arms Length Bodies: Facilities Agreements, whether the new trade union facility time policy will be extended to (a) non-Civil Service central government bodies and (b) public corporations.

Answer

The Framework and Guidance is expected to be implemented only across the Civil Service, including all departments and agencies that employ civil servants. Non-Civil Service central government bodies and public corporations may adopt the framework principles, should they wish, but are not expected to do so. Cabinet Office does not hold a record of which non-Civil Service organisations intend to adopt this approach.
