JARVIS PROFITS (No.2)

Early day motion 1448, tabled 13 June 2002 by Lord Cryer (Labour). Signed by 41 members.

That this House notes the vast profits recently announced by the Jarvis group of companies, a group which was fined £500,000 for putting rail passengers and workers at risk following two derailments in 1999; further notes Jarvis's otherwise appalling safety record; and calls on the Government to ensure that Railtrack's successor employs a direct labour force to rid the rail network of the current plethora of sub-contracting.

Signatures by party: Labour 27, Liberal Democrat 6, Scottish National Party 4, Labour/Co-operative 2, Plaid Cymru 2.
