Health and safety risks in Parliament should be reassessed due to a security worker dying after contracting Covid-19, MPs have urged.
Tributes have poured in for father-of-two Godfrey Cameron, 55, who MPs said showed “selfless care for others” and was a “hard-working” member of parliamentary security staff.
The SNP’s Chris Stephens has now tabled a motion in the Commons asking the House authorities to work with trade union officials to carry out an “updated risk assessment” in relation to health and safety on the parliamentary estate.
The MP for Glasgow South West added they must take “all appropriate measures” to help keep staff safe. His motion has been supported by a further 25 MPs, including Labour former shadow chancellor John McDonnell.
