FAIR TRADE TEA AND COFFEE IN HOUSE RESTAURANTS

Early day motion 362, tabled 28 October 1997 by Nick Palmer (Labour). Signed by 68 members.

That this House, in the light of widespread concern that the producers of tea and coffee in developing countries fail to receive a fair share of the price charged in Britain, urges the Catering Committee to take a lead on behalf of the House by instructing all catering departments in the House to serve only Cafe Direct, Clipper Tea or other 'fair trade' products.
