Catherine West – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Justice

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Catherine West on 2016-02-25.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what the rate of pay is for cleaners in his Department.

Mike Penning

Cleaning services within the Ministry of Justice are typically undertaken by outsourced providers. Cleaners working within Ministry of Justice sites are therefore employed directly by these outsourced providers or their subcontractors and/or agencies.

Rates of pay for cleaners are determined by their respective employers and not held by the Ministry of Justice. All employers are obligated to pay at least the National Minimum Wage and the new National Living Wage from April 2016.
