Blue Peter Badges And Internet Auction Sites

EDM number 1931 in 2005-06, proposed by John Barrett on 29/03/2006.

That this House recognises the importance and value of Blue Peter badges in this country; notes that these badges entitle the recipient to free entry to over 200 UK events and attractions; believes that such badges should be earned, not bought or sold; expresses concern that unscrupulous buying and selling of these badges on internet auction sites serves to devalue their status; regrets that visitor attractions such as Edinburgh Zoo have been forced to abandon free visits for badge holders due to misuse and subsequent financial loss; and calls on internet auction sites to take action to prohibit the selling of these badges online.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
