However, we want to consult before making any final decisions. The power enables Ministers to adjust the long-standing 10% membership application threshold to between 10% and 2%. This is because that was the figure used by the previous Government when they reduced in 2020 the threshold that triggers information and consultation arrangements under the Information and Consultation of Employees Regulations 2004 from 10% to 2% of employees in a workplace. In view of the above, I hope noble Lords agree that 2% is not an unreasonable figure to consult on, among other options.
