TARGETED INVESTMENT SANCTIONS AGAINST BURMA'S DICTATORSHIP (EDM498)

TARGETED INVESTMENT SANCTIONS AGAINST BURMA'S DICTATORSHIP

EDM number 498 in 2006-07, proposed by Julie Morgan on 13/12/2006.

That this House recalls that 243 hon. Members signed Early Day Motion 1311 in the 2002-03 parliamentary session calling on the British Government to act unilaterally to ban new investment in Burma; notes that despite stating it opposes investment the Government has still not taken action to ban British companies from investing in Burma, or taken steps to stop foreign companies using British Overseas Territories to channel investment to Burma; commends the Channel 4 Dispatches documentary `Burma's Secret War' which exposed the appalling human rights situation in Burma and the role that foreign investment has played in propping up the dictatorship in that country; further notes that Burma's democracy movement has called for a ban on new investment in Burma; and calls on the Government to introduce legislation enabling the prohibition of new investment in Burma and to stop foreign companies channelling investment to Burma via British Overseas Territories.

This motion has been signed by a total of 82 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
