Question

To ask the right hon. Member for Carshalton and Wallington, representing the House of Commons Commission, how many contract staff the House employs on zero-hours contracts; and what information it holds on the number of such staff employed by the House of Lords.

The House of Commons Commission does not hold this information about staff employed by its contractors. The House is committed to offering guaranteed minimum hours contracts to all its directly employed staff. The House of Commons Commission does not hold such information relating to contractors used by the House of Lords.
