POLICE OFFICERS' PAY

EDM number 331 in 2007-08, proposed by David TC Davies on 20/11/2007.
Categorised under the topics of Pay and Police.

That this House salutes the dedication, courage and professionalism of police officers throughout the United Kingdom in tackling crime and protecting the public; believes that they should be justly rewarded for the job they do on behalf of us all; recalls that in July the official side and the staff side of the Police Negotiating Board failed to agree the annual pay rise for police officers for the second year running; notes that on 2nd November the issue was passed to the independent Police Arbitration Service for resolution; recognises that both sides of the Police Negotiating Board are bound by the decision of the Police Arbitration Board; and calls upon the Home Secretary to be equally bound to implement any recommendation made.

This motion has been signed by a total of 83 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
