GM FREE CO-OP

Early day motion 1794, tabled 21 October 2003 by Alan Simpson (Labour). Signed by 56 members.

That this House congratulates the Co-op on its decision to remove all genetically modified products and ingredients from goods on sale in its stores; recognises that this is in line with consumer desires to avoid GM food, farmers' desires not to grow it, insurers' refusal to cover it and sciences' refusal to declare it safe; and furthermore urges the Government and other supermarkets to follow the Co-op's lead.

Signatures by party: Labour 33, Liberal Democrat 13, Labour/Co-operative 5, Scottish National Party 3, Plaid Cymru 2.
