POLICE SERVICE PAY IN SCOTLAND

Early day motion 539, tabled 11 December 2007 by Angus MacNeil (Scottish National Party). Signed by 18 members.

That this House notes that the Scottish Government has made a commitment to implement the Police Arbitration Tribunal's pay recommendations and to backdate the pay award in full; believes that a motivated and fairly remunerated police service has a crucial role to play in securing community safety and wellbeing; and urges the Home Office to study the Scottish precedent without delay and to undertake a review of its determination in this matter with a view to ensuring that England's police officers are accorded equivalent respect and consideration.
