LONDON UNDERGROUND CLEANING SERVICES

Summary

That this House notes that under the terms of the London Underground Public Private Partnership (PPP) Tube Lines, a consortium of Amey and Bechtel and its multinational cleaning contractor, ISS, are responsible for cleaning trains and stations on the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines and that since the introduction of the PPP Tube Lines has reported pre-tax profits of £150 million; is concerned that Tube Lines has ordered a substantial cut in the value of its station and train cleaning contract; further notes that this cut will mean the loss of 100 station cleaning jobs amounting to a 50 per cent. reduction in cleaning staff working on stations and bring additional pressure to bear on a poorly paid and vulnerable group of workers; and therefore supports the RMT campaign to reverse these cuts and urges Tube Lines and ISS to reconsider their plans.
