Fairtrade Campaign In Universities

EDM number 1892 in 2005-06, proposed by John Barrett on 23/03/2006.

That this House congratulates the National Union of Students Services Limited (NUSSL), the buying consortium for NUS affiliated students' unions, on its decision to become 100 per cent. Fairtrade for hot beverages subject to approval at the forthcoming NUSSL Annual General Meeting; supports moves by the National Union of Students (NUS) to encourage its entire membership to opt-in to Fairtrade status; recognises that Edinburgh University Students' Association along with others has submitted a motion to NUS Annual Conference supporting this move; notes that the motion will allow the NUS to encourage all student unions to embrace Fairtrade and ensure that the millions of students across the UK will drink Fairtrade products as the default in their unions; further recognises the importance of Fairtrade products for securing a fair deal for farmers in developing countries; and calls on the Government to continue to do all it can to support the continued growth of the Fairtrade market in the UK.

This motion has been signed by a total of 62 MPs.
