Sums paid to trade unions

Published 21 June 2010

Please find below information relating to FOI request 鈥楽ums paid to trade unions鈥.

We were asked about sums paid to Trade Unions and Union Facility time.

No sums were paid directly by the Wales Office to any trade unions in either 2008-09 or 2009-10.

In line with the ACAS Code of Practice 鈥淭ime off for Trades Union Duties and Activities鈥, one member of staff had 11 hours trade union facility time during the 2009-10 period with PCS. This equates to around 0.01 fte (full time equivalent)
