39. Mr. Dover

asked the Secretary of State for Employment what representations he has so far received on periodic re-election for governing bodies and offices in the trade union movement as part of his consultation process.

So far I have received 17 representations on trade union elections following the publication of the green paper "Democracy in Trade Unions." The period set aside for consultations lasts until 8 April.
