Establishment Of A Fair Employment Commission

EDM number 468 in 2004-05, proposed by Lynne Jones on 11/01/2005.

That this House welcomes the pledge given by the Prime Minister in September 2004 that a third term Labour government would increase the statutory minimum paid holiday entitlement from the current four weeks per year, which can include bank holidays, to four weeks plus bank holidays; and believes that in order to ensure that workers benefit from the Government's strategy for the enhancement of statutory workplace rights, such as paid holiday, the more accessible and pro-active compliance regime associated with the National Minimum Wage, commonly regarded as a huge success, should now be extended to some of these rights, through the establishment of a Fair Employment Commission.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
