POSTAL WORKERS' CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY

Early day motion 252, tabled 11 December 2008 by Desmond Turner (Labour). Signed by 55 members.

That this House believes that Royal Mail's requirement for postal workers to work on Saturday 27 December is wholly unreasonable, when they are exhausted from the extra demands placed on them by the Christmas post; and calls on Royal Mail to show Christmas spirit and allow Saturday 27 December as a holiday as has been the case in previous years.

Signatures by party: Labour 41, Liberal Democrat 9, Independent 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
