JOBS ON THE OLYMPIC SITE

Early day motion 762, tabled 1 February 2010 by Diane Abbott (Labour). Signed by 28 members.

That this House recognises that unemployment is rising in London; notes that jobs on the Olympic site are set to increase by over 2,000 in 2010; further notes that just 20 per cent. of workers employed on the Olympic site live in one of the five Olympic boroughs; believes that more needs to be done to utilise local workers; and calls on the Government to set targets to encourage Olympic construction companies to employ locally.
