Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill — Clause 36 — Provision of Union Membership Audit Certificates to Regulator — 11 Sep 2013 at 17:00

The majority of MPs voted to require a register of the names and addresses of members of a trade union to be sent to the regulator, the Certification Officer, for each annual reporting period rather than just in the event of a complaint.

MPs were considering the Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill[1]. The amendment rejected in this vote was:

  • Amendment 103, page 37, line 39, leave out
  • ‘in relation to each reporting period’
  • and insert
  • ‘if
  • (a) a formal complaint is received by the Certification Officer that would result in the Certification Officer requiring a membership audit in relation to the reporting period when the complaint was verified and
  • (b) the Certification Officer determined that a certificate was required.’

The paragraph within Clause 36[2] which would have been amended stated:

  • A trade union required to maintain a register of the names and addresses of its members by section 24 must send to the Certification Officer a membership audit certificate in relation to each reporting period.
