This paper presents an analysis of the

0
→ J/ψ
Λ angular distribution and the transverse production polarisation of
Λ
b
0
baryons in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8 and 13 TeV. The measurements are performed using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.9 fb

, collected with the LHCb experiment. The polarisation is determined in a fiducial region of
Λ

transverse momentum and pseudorapidity of 1

and 2

baryons being produced unpolarised in this region. The parity-violating asymmetry parameter of the Λ →

decay is also determined from the data and its value is found to be consistent with a recent measurement by the BES III collaboration.
