Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill — Clause 37 — Duty to appoint an assurer etc — 11 Sep 2013 at 19:00

The majority of MPs voted not require an assurer of a Trade Union to report on a membership audit certificate if the union has taken all reasonable steps to ensure their membership register is up to date (subject to matters outside of the union's control).

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

  • Amendment 112, page 40, line 19, at end insert—
  • ‘(c) Whether, in the assurer’s opinion, the trade union has taken all reasonable steps to ensure their membership register is up to date taking into account—
  • (i) that the union should not be held responsible for inaccuracies in cases where, in the assurer’s opinion, an employer is not sharing timely and accurate details, and
  • (ii) any other aspects that, in the assurer’s opinion, have been out of the control of the trade union in the maintenance of the membership register.
