Motion Text

That this House notes with disgust that the directors of Remploy were paid more than £1.7 million in bonuses in 2007-08, an increase of 40 per cent., in the same year that 2,500 workers lost their jobs at the firm; and agrees with the sentiments of Mr Phil Davies, National Officer of the GMB union, that the bonus culture for Remploy directors must end and that resources should be spent instead on Remploy's role of providing employment to workers with disabilities.
