Government And Prison Officers Association

EDM number 1425 in 1994-95, proposed by Gerry Steinberg on 17/07/1995.

That this House is appalled that the Home Secretary and Director General for Prisons will not enter into pay negotiations with the Prison Officers' Association while knowing full well that the law was disgracefully changed in order to prevent the Association from taking industrial action; furthermore despises a government that changes the law and then uses the changes for its own political advantage; and finds it quite understandable that the Prison Officers' Association has no confidence in the Home Secretary and Mr Derek Lewis, the Director General for Prisons.

This motion has been signed by a total of 43 MPs.
