COLLEY CIVIL ENGINEERING OF OTLEY AND MR MARK ASPRAY

Early day motion 402, tabled 6 March 2001 by Gerald Kaufman (Labour). Signed by 21 members.

That this House expresses its renewed disgust with Colley Civil Engineering of Otley, West Yorkshire, for, after nearly a year, still having failed to pay ú280 owing in wages to its former employee, Mr Mark Aspray; notes that this company's shameful conduct is such that not only has it avoided replying to repeated letters from Mr Aspray's Member of Parliament, the Right honourable Member for Manchester, Gorton, but has also dodged telephone calls from the trade magazine, New Civil Engineer, which has looked into the case; and warns both potential employees and potential customers to steer clear of this shady company, since a company which cheats and defrauds its workers is equally likely to cheat and defraud its customers.

Signatures by party: Labour 21.
