Catherine West – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Cabinet Office

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Catherine West on 2016-02-19.

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what the rate of pay is for cleaners in his Department.

Matthew Hancock

The pay range for directly employed London cleaning staff is £19,988 – £24,430 per annum.

The rates of pay for cleaning staff employed by our Facilities Management contractors around the country range from £6.70 per hour to £7.62 per hour, depending on the contract.

The pay of contracted cleaners will increase to the National Living Wage when that is introduced in April. As the living wage increases the minimum paid to cleaners will also increase.
