PUT PEOPLE FIRST ALLIANCE

Early day motion 1151, tabled 23 March 2009 by Lynne Jones (Labour). Signed by 44 members.

That this House believes that in light of the global economic crisis and in the context of the forthcoming G20 talks it is vital that the focus of the UK Government is on creating a new, improved economic model rather than simply business as usual; therefore commends the Put People First Alliance report and campaign, backed by over 100 development and climate charities, non-governmental organisations and trades unions; and hopes that the Government will heed its recommendations and support the following four principles laid out in the report, when negotiating and acting on this matter, of ensuring democratic governance of the global economy, creating and supporting decent jobs and public services, ending global poverty and inequality and building a green economy.

Signatures by party: Labour 29, Liberal Democrat 12, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Independent 1.
