Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what plans he has to improve the operations of the Certification Officer.
The Certification Officer (CO) is independent of Government and day-to-day operations are the remit of the Officer. The CO is required by statute to report their activities to the Department for Business and Trade, and ACAS, on an annual basis. This report is made available to Parliament and is deposited by the relevant minister in the House libraries.
The next report is due Summer 2025.
