Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what reason the membership of the Build Back Better Council does not include representatives of trade unions.

The Build Back Better Business Council has been convened to afford an opportunity to the Government and business leaders to share ideas on achieving the future economic prosperity of the country. The council’s meetings are in addition to the regular and ongoing engagement with trades unions, businesses and business representative groups that takes place across Government. Trades Unions and BROs are important stakeholders and continue to feed into work across Government on economic recovery and future growth. The council’s terms of reference can be found via https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/build-back-better-business-council-terms-of-reference.
