Civil Servants: Trade Unions

Question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the trade union Partnership Framework published by the Cabinet Office on 30 June 2026, whether it is government policy to support an increase in trade union membership in the Civil Service.

Answer

The purpose of the Partnership Framework is to set out principles regarding how Cabinet Office will work with Civil Service trade unions centrally on matters that impact the workforce of the Civil Service. The framework makes no reference to an increase in trade union membership in the Civil Service and it is not intended to reflect government policy on this matter.
