To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many industrial tribunal claims or civil court claims were lodged in which the British High Commission in Malta stood as defendant in the last eight years; and how many such cases were lost.
[114351]
In the last eight years, six cases have been lodged with the industrial tribunal in which the British high commission in Malta has stood as defendant. Four of these cases have not yet reached their conclusion. To date, the high commission's decision-making has always been confirmed by the tribunal as being justified and correct; and the high commission has never been found guilty of breaking the law concerning employees. However, the high commission has been directed to pay compensation in some cases. The high commission has lodged appeals in two cases which will be heard in 2013.

The collective agreement between the British high commission and the General Workers' Union (GWU) states that the high commission has the right to withdraw recognition of the union for collective bargaining purposes should the membership of the union amongst British high commission staff fall below 50% + 1. Recognition of the GWU was withdrawn because they no longer had the support of a majority of staff, and their demands were unreasonable and unrealistic. The GWU requested the verification exercise to confirm whether or not they had a majority; the Director of Industrial and Employment Relations determined that the union did not have a majority.

The General Workers' Union stated to the Directorate of Industrial and Employment Relations that if the union no longer represented an absolute majority of staff then it expected the British high commission to reduce recognition to supervisory, clerical and industrial grades. Maltese law makes no provision for this. The British high commission believes that the union should represent all grades of locally engaged employees, not selected grades.

In the last five years there have been six redundancies within the British high commission in Malta. The high commission implemented these in full consultation with the British high commissioner's honorary legal adviser, who advised in accordance with Maltese labour law. The British high commission has only once been directed by the Court of Appeal to compensate an employee as a result of redundancy. Two other cases are still sub judice.
