That this House notes with concern the hostile behaviour towards trade unions in the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG); further notes that recent attacks include an announcement by DCLG, without consultation, that it will no longer allow the check-off system of payment of union subscriptions direct from wages, the cost of which is borne by the unions themselves; and calls on the Government to ensure that the Department reconsiders its decision on subscriptions and adopt a more constructive approach towards trade unions in future.
