Put People First Alliance

EDM number 1151 in 2008-09, proposed by Lynne Jones on 23/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Economic policy.

That this House believes that in light of the global economic crisis and in the context of the forthcoming G20 talks it is vital that the focus of the UK Government is on creating a new, improved economic model rather than simply business as usual; therefore commends the Put People First Alliance report and campaign, backed by over 100 development and climate charities, non-governmental organisations and trades unions; and hopes that the Government will heed its recommendations and support the following four principles laid out in the report, when negotiating and acting on this matter, of ensuring democratic governance of the global economy, creating and supporting decent jobs and public services, ending global poverty and inequality and building a green economy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 45 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
