Roger Godsiff – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Roger Godsiff on 2014-04-28.

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, for what reasons his Department requested that government departments review the check-off system for union subscriptions.

Mr Francis Maude

The deduction of trade union subscriptions from payroll through check-off is a matter delegated to Departments.

Departments should keep these arrangements under review to ensure that they are appropriate and meet the needs of a modern workplace, as per section 7.3.3 of the Civil Service management code.
