Business question from Julie Morgan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 24 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

I add my support to a free vote on the smoking restrictions. May I urge my right hon. Friend to do all that he can to help settle the dispute with the House of Commons contract cleaners, perhaps by asking the House of Commons Commission to get involved? Yesterday I went to a meeting with other hon. Members in which the cleaners were supported by a delegation of cleaners from Europe, who have much better pay and conditions than the people working in this building. The dispute has been going on for six months, and I urge him to do what he can because it is humiliating that it is happening in the heart of democracy. Will he do all that he can to get it settled before Christmas?
