Greeting Cards Industry (EDM550)

Greeting Cards Industry

EDM number 550 in 2001-02, proposed by Mark Oaten on 11/12/2001.

That this House notes that 2.6 billion greeting cards are bought in the UK every year; further notes that the UK greeting card industry is the world leader in this market; expresses concern that proposals by Consignia to introduce additional postal charges for non-standard shaped cards would damage the industry; and calls on the Government to seek safeguards from Consignia to protect the card industry and card consumers before any such changes are implemented.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
