Business question from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 November 2005. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

To return to the subject of the House of Commons cleaners, which was mentioned earlier, my understanding is that the 15 per cent. offer that is on the table is not an overall increase in the amount of money available; it is dependent on about 30 jobs being cut and a reduction in hours. We have some cleaners who are working up to 75 hours a week to try to make ends meet, so I am not sure what will happen. May I urge my right hon. Friend to meet the union representatives, as he has offered to do, and then make a statement to the House on how those discussions have gone?
