House Of Commons Cleaners

EDM number 673 in 2004-05, proposed by Kevin McNamara on 08/02/2005.

That this House recognises the invaluable contribution made by House of Commons cleaners towards ensuring the smooth running of this House; is dismayed with the poor pay and working conditions of the cleaners who are paid a miserly ú4.85 per hour with only 12 days' paid holiday per annum, statutory sick pay only and no company pension; finds these employment terms and conditions shameful and totally unacceptable in 21st century Britain; wholeheartedly supports the claim made by the Transport and General Workers Union, who represent cleaners in the House, for better wages and improved working conditions; believes that the cleaners' claim should not be ignored or their work continued to be taken for granted; and urges the House authorities and the contractors that employ the cleaners to accept their claim for ú6.70 per hour, 20 days' paid holiday per annum, company sick pay and a company pension to ensure they receive a fair deal.

This motion has been signed by a total of 162 MPs.
