Departmental Trade Unions

Mr. Maude
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions what office facilities her Department provides for the exclusive use of each trade union recognised by it; and what the notional value of such provision was in the latest period for which information is available.

Jonathan Shaw
I refer the right hon. Member to the written answer I gave to his question on 29 April 2009, Official Report, column 125W.

The information provided within the answer is still the current position. We are unable to provide a notional value of the facilities used because the information is not available.
