Government Departments: Contract Cleaning
(asked on 20th October 2015) - View Source
Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if he will make it his policy to issue guidance that staff employed by contract cleaning companies in government departments should not be disciplined for seeking a living wage; and if he will include this in future contracts.
This question was answered on 28th October 2015
We are the first Government ever to deliver a National Living Wage. From April 2016, every employer in the country will pay the National Living Wage, including all Government contractors, for workers aged 25 and above.
Consequently, we have no plans to issue the specified guidance.
