Service Delivery And Job Cuts In The Department For Work And Pensions (EDM1481)

Service Delivery And Job Cuts In The Department For Work And Pensions

EDM number 1481 in 2005-06, proposed by John McDonnell on 25/01/2006.

That this House notes with concern that members of the Public and Commercial Services trade union working in the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have felt that they have no other option but to take industrial action in the face of the Government's proposals for 30,000 job cuts and the adverse effect this is having on the DWP's services; further notes the staffing requirements of the Government's incapacity benefit reforms and that the DWP is running ahead of its job reduction target having already cut 15,000 jobs; and therefore calls upon the Government to introduce a moratorium on job cuts within the Department to enable an objective assessment to take place, in full consultation with the unions and service users concerned, of the DWP's staffing needs for delivering services.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
