Shop Fitting Companies

EDM number 1033 in 2007-08, proposed by Richard Younger-Ross on 25/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Industry and Service industries.

That this House welcomes the growth in refurbishment of shops, public houses and building societies, but notes that generally national chains use a select number of contractors who undertake the work across the UK rather than using locally-based companies; believes that such practices are inefficient and damaging to the environment and deny economically deprived areas of much needed employment; and calls upon the industry to review such practices and to invest more in local contractors and sources.

This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs.
