Cinema Catering Prices

EDM number 563 in 2012-13, proposed by George Galloway on 15/10/2012.
Categorised under the topics of Food and Performing arts.

That this House deplores the profiteering by cinema chains in the provision of catering to their customers where the prices of sweets, drinks and ice creams in the foyers are many times those on the high street; notes that this particularly affects families with young children at whom much of the merchandising is aimed; calls on cinemas to stop exploiting their customers by insisting that the stalls and franchises inside their buildings reduce their prices to a level commensurate with local shops and restaurants; and congratulates the cinema goers who are campaigning for fair prices.

This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
