Ask you MP to sign EDM 99

As part of Justice Week, Neil Gerrard MP, tabled a an early day motion on staff in teh criminal justice system. The EDM reads:

“This House values the work of the staff who are employed in the Criminal Justice System for their efforts to deliver a good service despite difficult conditions and circumstances; and therefore urges the Government to ensure that staff are paid an appropriate rate for the service they provide, that workloads are eased to containable and realistic levels, and that sufficient resources are allocated to allow staff to carry out their statutory duties efficiently and effectively.”

63 MPs have already signed up to the EDM. This is really good, given the short space of time since the EDM was put down, and it is clearly due to union members contacting their MPs and asking them to sign.
