HILTON HOTELS AND AGENCY LABOUR

That this House welcomes the pledge by Hilton Hotels to cease using employment agencies, thereby improving basic pay and conditions for workers in its hotel chain; congratulates the Citizens Organising Foundation for its role in negotiating the pledge and monitoring its implementation; deplores the actions of the Government in blocking EU legislation which would grant basic employment rights to temporary and agency workers; and calls upon the Government to reconsider this approach and to begin consulting on and enacting domestic legislation to protect the most vulnerable workers in the UK labour market.
