ETHICAL TRADING STANDARDS AND THE LONDON 2012 OLYMPICS

Early day motion 2969, tabled 17 April 2012 by Jim Sheridan (Labour). Signed by 37 members.

That this House is concerned about press reports that UK Olympians will be asked to wear sporting equipment produced by exploited child labour; is further concerned that successful Olympians will be presented with medals produced by multi-national company Rio Tinto who have locked out their entire workforce in Alma, Quebec without any serious consultation; and, therefore calls on the Government and the Olympics governing body to ensure that ethical trading standards will be maintained during a hopefully successful Olympics in the UK.

Signatures by party: Labour 27, Liberal Democrat 3, DUP 2, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Green 1.
