New Commission For Equality And Human Rights (EDM1185)

New Commission For Equality And Human Rights

EDM number 1185 in 2005-06, proposed by Barbara Keeley on 01/12/2005.

That this House welcomes the Government's proposal that the new Commission for Equality and Human Rights will have its main site in Manchester where the majority of its staff will be located; recognises that Manchester has shown that public sector posts can be successfully located in the North of England; further recognises that Greater Manchester and the North West are diverse areas with a rich cultural mix and substantial experience in building community cohesion in the face of racial and ethnic tensions; notes that the BBC and other organisations are helping to create jobs and career structures in the area which is a location of choice for Government, industry and commerce; and calls upon the new Commission to fully embrace its Manchester headquarters location and establish all Commission functions operating from this new base.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
