Written Question
Industrial Action: Deductions
Thursday 16th July 2026

Asked by: Abtisam Mohamed (Labour - Sheffield Central)

Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, if he will commit to making regulations under section 76(1) of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 to prohibit employers from making 100% wage deductions where the partial performance in question constitutes protected industrial action.

Answered by Blair McDougall - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade) (Jointly with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The government response to the consultation on Protection against Detriments for Taking Industrial Action, published 23 June 2026, states that the government does not plan to change the common law rules allowing pay deductions for industrial action, including partial performance. This is an area of law continuing to develop in the courts.

The draft Protection Against Detriment (Industrial Action) Regulations 2026, to be made under section 236A Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992, prohibiting the use of detriments to penalise or deter protected industrial action, were laid in Parliament on 24 June 2026 and are consistent with this position.

"My hon. Friend makes an excellent point.

The new bypass road, which is for Palestinians only, will reroute Palestinians and seal off the E1 corridor permanently. This is a state-wide strategy that uses every civilian and military means to appropriate land, isolate Palestinians and make a Palestinian state impossible to …..."
