answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/12/2016 answer text <p>The news that the OECD has revised up its UK growth forecast for this year and next is welcome. I believe it demonstrates the strength and its resilience of the economy since the British people decided to leave the European Union.</p><p> </p><p>I also recognise that there are challenges ahead as mentioned in the report from the OECD. In view of this the UK Government has responded by announcing an extra £400m in capital projects for Wales and seeing through the commitment to raise the personal tax allowance to £11,500 to improve the lot of working people. On top of this, the UK Government is no longer seeking to deliver a surplus in 2019-20 and will do all it needs to ensure growth continues in Wales and across the country.</p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 06/12/2016 13:12:48 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/10/2016 answer text <p>The Government has put in place a robust legal framework to ensure workers can be represented by unions if that is their clear, democratic choice. The Government cannot get involved in individual cases such as this one. However, the law states that for a trade union to have the right to negotiate collectively and for its workplace representatives to be eligible for time off to carry out union duties, the union must be recognised by the employer.</p><p> </p><p>Statutory recognition (achieved through the Central Arbitration Committee – CAC) requires that a majority of the workforce support union recognition for collective bargaining with the employer.</p> answering member constituency Vale of Glamorgan answering member printed Alun Cairns question first answered 14/10/2016 11:04:16 answering member 4086 label Biography information for Alun Cairns
