Network Rail Bonus Payments

EDM number 333 in 2010-12, proposed by Linda Riordan on 28/06/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Pay and Railways.

That this House views with deep concern the decision of the Network Rail Board to pay senior management a total of 2.4 million in bonuses for 2009-10; notes that Network Rail is heavily reliant on taxpayer funding; further notes that the decision was reported in a week when everyone was asked by the Government to share the burden of reducing Britain's deficit; considers such payments as being unjustified and inappropriate; and calls on those members of Network Rail's board appointed by the Government to vote against such bonus payments at the impending Network Rail annual general meeting.

This motion has been signed by a total of 56 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
