Capital Investment In The United Kingdom

EDM number 1016 in 1989-90, proposed by John McWilliam on 17/05/1990.

That this House condemns the view of the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry that Britain is the cheap labour capital of Northern Europe, blessed with a flexible workforce and free from tiresome labour laws; and further calls upon him to stop promoting the United Kingdom as a sweat shop to Japanese businessmen and instead to take serious steps to halt the haemorrhage of some ú15 billion in capital investment flowing out from Britain each year.

This motion has been signed by a total of 71 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
