10th ANNIVERSARY OF MORECAMBE BAY COCKLE PICKER TRAGEDY

Early day motion 1003, tabled 27 January 2014 by Jim Sheridan (Labour). Signed by 66 members.

That this House commemorates the 10th anniversary of the death of 23 Chinese cockle pickers at Morecambe Bay; recognises that their death was a dominant factor in the creation of the Gangmasters Licensing Authority; but is disappointed that the opportunity to extend the remit of the Authority into other sectors has to date been rejected.
