Ethical Trading Standards And The London 2012 Olympics

EDM number 2969 in 2010-12, proposed by Jim Sheridan on 17/04/2012.
Categorised under the topics of Children and families, Employment, Industrial relations and Sports.

That this House is concerned about press reports that UK Olympians will be asked to wear sporting equipment produced by exploited child labour; is further concerned that successful Olympians will be presented with medals produced by multi-national company Rio Tinto who have locked out their entire workforce in Alma, Quebec without any serious consultation; and, therefore calls on the Government and the Olympics governing body to ensure that ethical trading standards will be maintained during a hopefully successful Olympics in the UK.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
