BONUSES OF REMPLOY DIRECTORS

Early day motion 1672, tabled 15 June 2009 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 53 members.

That this House notes with disgust that the directors of Remploy were paid more than £1.7 million in bonuses in 2007-08, an increase of 40 per cent., in the same year that 2,500 workers lost their jobs at the firm; and agrees with the sentiments of Mr Phil Davies, National Officer of the GMB union, that the bonus culture for Remploy directors must end and that resources should be spent instead on Remploy's role of providing employment to workers with disabilities.

Signatures by party: Labour 37, Liberal Democrat 4, DUP 3, Independent 3, Plaid Cymru 2, Scottish National Party 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2.
