LONDON LIVING WAGE AND LFEPA CLEANERS

Early day motion 1666, tabled 11 June 2007 by Dawn Butler (Labour). Signed by 67 members.

That this House notes the decision of Conservative members of the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority (LFEPA) to vote against paying the London Living Wage to cleaners contracted to LFEPA at a recent meeting of the Fire Authority's Finance Committee; condemns the Conservatives' shameful attempt to deny a decent standard of living to low-paid workers in the capital; and urges members of the full LFEPA board to back the payment of the Living Wage when this matter is discussed at their meeting on 21st June.
