SFO cases are by their very nature complex, lengthy and resource intensive and it is not unusual for them to take a considerable time to be concluded. However, the SFO will publish information about this case on its website when it is appropriate to do so.</p> answering member constituency Kenilworth and Southam answering member printed Jeremy Wright question first answered 29/11/2017 11:23:56 answering member 1560 label Biography information for Sir Jeremy Wright

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 19/07/2021 answer text <p>Non-departmental public bodies (NDPBs) are not part of the department and operate at arms-length from Ministers. We work constructively with our NDPBs and this includes issues of workforce management but it is ultimately the responsibility of each NDPB to manage their staff. Whilst we have not communicated on this issue with all our NDPBs, the Government has been very clear that threatening fire and rehire as a negotiating tactic is completely unacceptable. We always expect employers to treat employees fairly and in the spirit of partnership working with trade unions, where relevant, constructively. We are confident that all non-departmental public bodies are aware of the Government’s position on this matter.</p> answering member constituency Walsall North answering member printed Eddie Hughes question first answered 19/07/2021 16:54:09 answering member 4635 label Biography information for Eddie Hughes
