CATERING STAFF PAY

Early day motion 744, tabled 16 May 2000 by Alan Simpson (Labour). Signed by 80 members.

That this House welcomes the decision of the House authorities to restore overtime pay rates for catering staff in the Members' Tea Room and Refreshment Department; regrets that this entitlement had been withdrawn in the previous year but commends the House authorities for fully restoring and backdating it, putting staff pay and conditions back into a more legitimate framework; and calls upon the House authorities to ensure that staff are paid these arrears forthwith.

Signatures by party: Labour 60, Liberal Democrat 10, Labour/Co-operative 6, UUP 3, Conservative 1.
