PARLIAMENTARY EMPLOYEE SURVEY

An in-house survey of 400 Scottish Parliament employees has found that nearly a quarter planned to leave their jobs in the next year and nearly one-third felt that they were not treated with respect by MSP's. Nearly half felt that MSP's got preferential treatment, with MSP's claiming nine pence per mile more than workers for mileage allowance. Nearly one in five workers at the Parliament said that they would be reluctant to admit to working there.
