GLOBAL COAL MANAGEMENT MINE IN BANGLADESH

Early day motion 1303, tabled 1 April 2008 by Harry Cohen (Labour). Signed by 28 members.

That this House notes the World Development Movement's belief that plans for a coal mine in Bangladesh which are being pushed through by a UK company, Global Coal Management, should not go ahead; expresses deep concern that the Asian Development Bank should be funding this type of project; and considers that money earmarked for development should not be used for projects that will displace 40,000 people from their land and place a further 100,000 people at risk from a reduced or contaminated water supply.

Signatures by party: Labour 21, Independent 2, Liberal Democrat 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, DUP 1.
