G4S Treatment Of Olympic Park Sub-Contractors

EDM number 1201 in 2012-13, proposed by Barry Sheerman on 14/03/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Companies, Pay, Small businesses, Sports and Security industry.

That this House notes with serious concern the ongoing failure of G4S to pay sub-contractors for their excellent work carried out at the Olympic site; recalls the problems caused by G4S at the 2012 Olympics when HM armed forces had to be drafted in to provide security; further notes the rather favourable agreement G4S has recently reach with the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG); and expresses surprise that the Chairman of LOCOG and its senior officers have not yet intervened to remind G4S of its ethical and financial responsibilities to the small and medium-sized firms involved.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs.
