METROPOLITAN POLICE PAY

Early day motion 346, tabled 5 July 2012 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 17 members.

That this House expresses its concern at the impact on the income of Metropolitan police, Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) and police staff, many of whom work within Parliament, of the current pay offer which would result in a loss of between 300 to 500 per month in the pay of these officers and staff following a three year pay freeze; notes the impact on staff morale this threatened pay cut is having; and calls on the Metropolitan Police Commissioner to resolve this matter through constructive negotiations that will protect the standard of living of the Metropolitan police, PCSOs and police staff on whom our capital city and Parliament relies for its safety and security.

Signatures by party: Labour 15, Conservative 1, Respect 1.
