Name: Sue Woodward

Party: Labour

Constituency: Cannock Chase


1) I pledge to work to ensure that public services are properly resourced and delivered by the public sector and that there are no further local office closures, public sector job cuts or privatisations.

Unable to commit.

2) I pledge to support measures aimed at closing the UK tax gap, including recruiting HMRC staff and ensuring tax loopholes are closed.

Unable to commit.

3) I pledge to support civil service national pay bargaining and to press the government to offer pay increases to public sector workers at least in line with inflation.

Unable to commit.

4) I pledge to urge the government to honour the 2005 commitment on public sector pensions and to defend the rights of existing members of the civil service compensation scheme.

Unable to commit.

5) I pledge to campaign to ensure any changes to public services are only made after proper equality impact assessments have been conducted and their findings implemented.

Unable to commit.

Although I'm sympathetic to the PCS pledges (and am in contact with a local PCS rep), I'm afraid I can't commit 100% to them - which is a shame, as in principle I agree but can't honestly, hand on heart, commit to the detail.
