HOUSE OF COMMONS SWITCHBOARD STAFF

Early day motion 378, tabled 11 July 2012 by Baroness Hoey (Labour). Signed by 63 members.

That this House is very concerned that from May 2013 its switchboard staff will be moved to Southampton; worries that the quality of service based on strong relationships and trust may be damaged by this; is dismayed that many longstanding staff may find themselves redundant if they do not move; values and appreciates the service provided by existing staff; and calls on Capita, as the Operator Bureau contractor, to reconsider this move and maintain these services on site.
