Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lord Mann and Rory Stewart

Tuesday 6th March 2018 Commons Chamber

[Rory Stewart]

It is absolutely true that there is a strange anomaly in the human resources procedure, and we must tackle it. It cannot make sense that people are paid more to act up than to occupy the role. We want people to have career development and we will focus on the issue immediately.

[John Mann (Bassetlaw) (Lab)]
