G4S TREATMENT OF OLYMPIC PARK SUB-CONTRACTORS

Early day motion 1201, tabled 14 March 2013 by Barry Sheerman (Labour). Signed by 17 members.

That this House notes with serious concern the ongoing failure of G4S to pay sub-contractors for their excellent work carried out at the Olympic site; recalls the problems caused by G4S at the 2012 Olympics when HM armed forces had to be drafted in to provide security; further notes the rather favourable agreement G4S has recently reach with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG); and expresses surprise that the Chairman of LOCOG and its senior officers have not yet intervened to remind G4S of its ethical and financial responsibilities to the small and medium-sized firms involved.
