Written evidence submitted by the
Medical Research Council’s National Trade Union Side (UKCMRI 06)

"The National Trade Union Side (NTUS) represents all MRC employees through a joint negotiation and consultative committee. The MRC recognises the following unions: Unite, PCS, UCU, BMA, FDA.

The Individual unions and the Trade Union Side are aware of the intention to close NIMR but are not aware, at this stage, of any arrangements for the closure of NIMR, have not been consulted or involved in any discussions about the closure. We consider this to be a cause of concern."
