CIRC 016: RULES AND CONSTITUTION 2026

POA Circular 10/2026 outlined how Trade Union Political Funds will operate in England, Wales and Scotland and that there would be no change in Northern Ireland. This was reflected in Annex F of the Rules and Constitution and the change to the Annex has been promulgated.

I now attach a full copy of the Rules and Constitution for your information. Please be aware, a paper copy of these Rules will not be distributed at Annual Conference 2026 and should you require a copy it is incumbent on you to bring one with you. 

The Rules and Constitution are also available on the POA Website.

 

Yours sincerely

STEVE GILLAN
General Secretary
