answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2024 answer text <p><ins class="ministerial">The Employment Rights Bill restores the position on political funds to before the passage of the Trade Union Act 2016. This will mean that where a trade union has a political fund, any membership form must inform members of their right to opt out of contributing to a fund. There will be no requirement on trade unions to notify members annually of their right to opt out of contributing to a political fund.</ins></p><p><br /><del class="ministerial">The Employment Rights Bill substantively restores the position on political fund contributions to before the passage of the Trade Union Act 2016. This will mean trade union members will automatically be opted-in to contribute to a political fund, unless they expressly opt-out. We are proposing existing trade union members who did not opt-in to the political fund post 2016 would remain opted-out, and therefore we do next expect there to be any impact on these members.</del></p> answering member constituency Ellesmere Port and Bromborough answering member printed Justin Madders question first answered 31/10/2024 16:30:08 question first ministerially corrected 31/10/2024 17:14:37 answering member 4418 label Biography information for Justin Madders previous answer version 14236 answering member constituency Ellesmere Port and Bromborough answering member printed Justin Madders answering member 4418 label Biography information for Justin Madders
