Mycsp

EDM number 2038 in 2010-12, proposed by Mary Glindon on 05/07/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Civil Service and Pensions.

That this House expresses serious concern over the Government's proposal to impose changes on MyCSP, the public sector organisation that administers Civil Service pension schemes, that would create a mutual company in which the Government would be the sole shareholder; regrets the Government's description of these plans as employee-led; supports MyCSP employees' opposition to this plan, which would strip them of their Civil Service status and pension and has led to industrial action at all five MyCSP offices; notes that these walk-outs were supported by 76 per cent. of all MyCSP staff; further notes the findings of the Public and Commercial Services Union's survey of over half of MyCSP staff, both union and non-union members, that 95.7 per cent. want to retain their Civil Service status in full and 94 per cent. are opposed to the Government's view that this change will empower employees and improve performance; recalls that where mutual models have previously been imposed on the public sector by Government, as in the case of the Forensic Science Service, it has been a precursor to privatisation; and calls on the Government to scrap this plan or, at least, provide evidence that it has the support of the majority of MyCSP staff before continuing to describe this reform as employee-led.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
