Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to introduce new anti-strike laws to prevent walkouts by emergency service workers.

While the Government recognises the importance of the right to strike, we need to balance this against the need to protect the public and keep them safe. The Government is therefore reviewing our industrial relations legal framework to ensure that it gets this balance right. More details will be given in due course.
