G4S TREATMENT OF OLYMPIC PARK SUB-CONTRACTORS

Early day motion 186, tabled 4 June 2013 by Barry Sheerman (Labour). Signed by 14 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 reached with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympics 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.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, DUP 2, Independent 1, Liberal Democrat 1, Respect 1.
