Food bank appears outside Tory minister’s office
Tory Business Secretary Greg Clark
CIVIL servants ran a foodbank outside a Tory minister’s office last night to highlight “poverty pay” received by outsourced workers in his department.
Business Minister Greg Clark was served with the warning as furious staff took drastic measures to ensure their colleagues can eat over the weekend.
A source from the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union told the Morning Star that there are foodbanks “on every floor” inside the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS).
