FAIR TRADE TUCKSHOPS

Early day motion 1741, tabled 15 October 2003 by Helen Jones (Labour). Signed by 71 members.

That this House congratulates those schools which have set up fair trade tuckshops; believes that the sale of fairly-traded products as part of a healthy schools policy has a role to play both in encouraging healthier eating habits amongst young people and in raising their awareness of environmental and third-world issues; and calls upon the Department for Education and Skills to encourage other schools to take up this initiative.
