Colley Civil Engineering Of Otley And Mr Mark Aspray

EDM number 402 in 2000-01, proposed by Gerald Kaufman on 06/03/2001.

That this House expresses its renewed disgust with Colley Civil Engineering of Otley, West Yorkshire, for, after nearly a year, still having failed to pay ú280 owing in wages to its former employee, Mr Mark Aspray; notes that this company's shameful conduct is such that not only has it avoided replying to repeated letters from Mr Aspray's Member of Parliament, the Right honourable Member for Manchester, Gorton, but has also dodged telephone calls from the trade magazine, New Civil Engineer, which has looked into the case; and warns both potential employees and potential customers to steer clear of this shady company, since a company which cheats and defrauds its workers is equally likely to cheat and defraud its customers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
