I would like to take the opportunity to welcome the outcome of the TUI ballot of 13th June 2017 referred to by the Deputy.

My officials are seeking to finalise the consultation process on the TU Bill in the short-term and I will then be bringing proposals for amendments to the Bill, as published, arising as a result of the consultation with stakeholders, to Government for approval before the summer recess.
