Section 70ZE (Determinations by the Central Arbitration Committee) makes provision for CAC determinations. Subsection (1) provides that the section applies where a qualifying trade union has given an access request and either the employer has not responded in time, or the employer has responded but negotiations have not been completed in time.
	Subsection (2) provides that where an application is made, the CAC can make a determination that officials are, or are not, to have access to the workplace.
	Subsection (3)(a) provides that where the determination is that union officials are to have access, it must specify the terms of access, including any assistance the employer must provide in relation to the access. An agreement is then treated as being entered into between the employer and trade union, containing only those terms from the CAC determination.
	Subsection (4) provides that an application for a determination can be made by the union, in cases where the employer has not responded to the access notice, or by the union or employer where negotiations have been unsuccessful.
	Subsection (5) provides that applications under this section must be in writing and in the form the CAC may require. An application cannot be made after the end of a period beginning with the date on which the access request is given, and that period is to be provided for in regulations made by the Secretary of State.
	Subsection (6)(a) to (c) provide that when considering applications under this section the CAC may make: such enquiries as it sees fit; reasonable requests to provide information or documents relevant to the application; and so far as reasonably practicable, must give any person who it considers has a proper interest in the application an opportunity to be heard.
	Subsection (7) provides that a determination must be in writing and state the reasons for that determination.
