Harry Cohen

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what plans he has to improve the pay and conditions of Metropolitan police civilian security staff at the Houses of Parliament; and if he will make a statement. [10782]

Mr. Denham

The pay and conditions of service of civilian security staff at the Houses of Parliament are matters for the Metropolitan Police Authority.

The Metropolitan Police Service is undertaking a review of pay and grading for all its civil staff, including the security staff at the Palace of Westminster.

The recommendations are due to be considered by the Metropolitan Police Authority's Human Resources Committee on 1 November.
