This Section repeals section 32ZA as inserted by section 7 of the Trade Union Act 2016. Section 32ZA required a trade union to include details of any industrial action taken in the reporting period in its annual return to the Certification Officer. This includes the nature of the trade dispute relating to the industrial action, the type of industrial action, when the industrial action was taken, as well as confirmation that the relevant thresholds introduced to section 226 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 have been met. It also required that where a trade union held a ballot in respect of industrial action, the union’s return under section 32 for that period, shall contain the information mentioned in section 231 (number of votes cast, the number of those who voted yes, the number who voted no, etc.).
	Subsection (1) removes section 32ZA from the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 which sets out the information on industrial action the trade union needs to report for the Certification Officer through the annual return.
	Subsection (2) consequentially removes section 7 of the Trade Union Act 2016.
