Section 70ZD (Entering into access agreement by negotiation), subsection (1) sets out the conditions that apply for an access agreement to be entered into under the section.
	Firstly, that a qualifying trade union gives an access request.
	Secondly, that the employer provides a response notice before the end of the response period.
	Thirdly, that the union and employer have agreed in writing the terms on which trade union officials are to have access, before the end of the negotiation period.
	Finally, the union and employer need to notify the Central Arbitration Committee ("CAC") jointly of those terms.
	The Secretary of State can make provision as to the form and manner of that notification to the CAC in secondary legislation under section 70ZD(1)(d). Subsection (2) signposts section 70ZE as providing for cases where access agreements are treated as being entered into following a CAC determination.
