Catering staff will keep all customer tips under a Labour government, Jeremy Corbyn will vow today.

The Labour leader will tell the Bakers Union conference in Southport: “It’s not right that hardworking hospitality workers have their tips stolen by bosses.

"Labour will make it illegal.”

At present waiters and ­waitresses can have money docked by bosses imposing admin charges for tips added to credit and debit card payments.

Some restaurants pocket optional service charges added to bills and Labour will ban that practice, too.

Tips can also be taken away from staff to cover breakages.

Mr Corbyn will add: “These costs should be paid for by the business, not by the staff.”

Home Secretary Sajid Javid promised catering staff all their tips two years ago when he was Business Secretary.

But the Tories did nothing about it.
