Charter Of Rights For The Unemployed

EDM number 1003 in 1990-91, proposed by Harry Barnes on 19/06/1991.

That this House warmly welcomes the launch of the Charter of Rights of the Unemployed, produced by the European Network of the Unemployed; notes that unemployment is the largest single cause of poverty and illness throughout Europe; strongly believes that decent social and economic structures cannot be built without concerted action to tackle the monumental waste of mass unemployment; and compliments the National Unemployed Centres Combine for the publication and distribution of the Charter in Britain.

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