ROSTER PROPOSALS FOR PARLIAMENTARY SECURITY STAFF

Early day motion 71, tabled 13 May 2013 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 36 members.

That this House appreciates the value and dedication that our security staff display every day to ensure that our Parliament is safe and secure; recognises that these staff undertake their work with a professionalism and commitment to our safety that is cherished by all hon. Members; is concerned that changes proposed to their shift patterns of work are being imposed without the agreement of staff who regard them as deeply flawed and unhealthy; and urges the Metropolitan Police management to reach a resolution by engaging with staff and their representatives to agree a new roster that will suit the needs of the Parliamentary Estate without further undermining staff morale.

Signatures by party: Labour 29, Liberal Democrat 2, Plaid Cymru 2, DUP 1, Green 1, Respect 1.
