FUNDING THE COAL INDUSTRY SOCIAL WELFARE ORGANISATION

Early day motion 227, tabled 27 November 2002 by Michael Clapham (Labour). Signed by 47 members.

That this House is concerned that the Coal Industry Social Welfare Organisation will have to terminate the extremely valuable services that it provides to beneficiaries in coalmining communities due to the current funding crises caused by the regime introduced when the industry was privatised by the Conservative Government; and calls on Her Majesty's Government to address CISWO's funding requirements as a matter of urgency.
