MINISTRY OF DEFENCE JOB CUTS

Early day motion 2884, tabled 15 March 2012 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 30 members.

That this House notes with concern the loss of 15,000 staff within the Ministry of Defence (MoD)since 2010 as a result of voluntary redundancy and a recruitment freeze; further notes that over 14 billion was spent on procurement in the last 12 months within the MoD; believes that cuts on such a scale will have a hugely negative impact on front-line services; and calls on the Government to work with trade unions to protect services and recognise the invaluable work which is provided by civil servants within the MoD.

Signatures by party: Labour 25, DUP 3, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1.
