PUBLIC SERVICE WORKERS

Early day motion 93, tabled 18 November 2009 by Gwyn Prosser (Labour). Signed by 37 members.

That this House abhors the plans of some Conservative-run local authorities to sack public service workers and cut services while protecting their publicity machinery and enhancing the conditions of senior executives; and in particular condemns Kent County Council which proposes to abolish 700 posts while continuing to fund its own self-promoting television service, Kent TV, paying out over £5 million a year on self publicity and providing its Chief Executive with a higher salary than that of the Prime Minister.

Signatures by party: Labour 29, Liberal Democrat 5, Independent 2, Respect 1.
