The Government has considered the requirements set out in paragraph 822 of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) code on Freedom of Association. The ILO recognises minimum service levels can be a sensible solution to protect the public from serious consequences of strikes. The Bill is clear that before making regulations setting a minimum service level (MSL) for a particular area, the lead Department must consult widely. This will give relevant trade unions the opportunity to feed in their views. Once an MSL is in place, the legislation also requires employers to consult with a relevant trade union, and have regard to their views, before issuing a work notice.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4474", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kevin Hollinrake"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Thirsk and Malton"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Kevin Hollinrake"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2023-01-24", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2023-01-24T12:51:48.173Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "201"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2023-01-19", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the compatibility of the Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill with paragraph 882 of the International Labour Organisation code on Freedom of Association.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4651", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dan Carden"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Liverpool, Walton"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Dan Carden"} ], "uin" : "127885"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1568688", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1568688/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government published a consultation on the design of the ECO+scheme, which proposed a requirement for a minimum of 20% of the obligation to be delivered to low-income households. The Government has not proposed to restrict the number of low-income households that can be supported through the scheme. The remaining obligation is available to both low-income households and a wider customer base, who otherwise would not be eligible for any support through other Government energy efficiency schemes.<\/p>
