WORKERS' MEMORIAL DAY ON 28TH APRIL

Early day motion 1206, tabled 26 April 2002 by Michael Clapham (Labour). Signed by 76 members.

That this House commemorates Workers' Memorial Day on 28th April and recognises its value in helping trade unions and work place safety and health campaigners in over 100 countries to draw attention to the one million three hundred thousand people who die annually due to poor working conditions often forgotten and publicly unremembered; and welcomes this year's UK theme of improving public health through stronger safety and health measures, access to effective occupational health services and empowering safety representatives to do an even better job in the work place.

Signatures by party: Labour 60, Labour/Co-operative 5, Liberal Democrat 4, Scottish National Party 3, Plaid Cymru 2, Conservative 1, UUP 1.
