Future Of Remploy

EDM number 809 in 2007-08, proposed by Michael Clapham on 29/01/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Employment and Employment schemes.

That this House expresses its concerns that a number of Remploy factories remain threatened with closure; notes that Remploy receives a subsidy to employ disabled workers who otherwise may not be employed elsewhere in the labour market; is appalled by reports that Remploy is outsourcing work to cheap labour in Bulgaria which was previously carried out by the soon to be closed Barnsley Remploy factory; and therefore calls on the Secretary of State to step in to guarantee work for British disabled workers, and to meet the Remploy National Trade Union Consortium to consider their proposals for a sustainable future for Remploy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
