Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the hourly pay-rate is for her Department's cleaning staff.
Cleaning services across the department are outsourced. Suppliers are responsible for setting rates of pay for their staff and rates for cleaners vary dependent on their age, location and market rates. They have informed the department that they currently pay, as a minimum, either the National Minimum Wage or the National Living Wage for cleaning the department’s buildings.
