Teachers' Exclusion From Salary Sacrifice Car Schemes

EDM number 1096 in 2013-14, proposed by David TC Davies on 24/02/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Pay, Roads and Teachers.

That this House welcomes the availability of salary sacrifice car schemes for public and private sector workers, providing a boost to the motoring industry and delivering a low cost, low polluting motoring option; notes the popularity of these schemes and their long-term fiscal neutrality to the Exchequer; further notes the current exemption of teachers from the scheme despite all other public and private sector professions being eligible and teachers having access to similar schemes such as Cycle to Work; acknowledges the demand from teachers for having access to salary sacrifice car schemes; and urges the Education Secretary to consider amending the Sschool Teachers' Pay and Conditions Document Agreement to extend access to the schemes for teachers.

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