Below Cost Selling (EDM483)

Below Cost Selling

EDM number 483 in 2008-09, proposed by Jeremy Corbyn on 15/01/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Food and Service industries.

That this House notes the negative impact of below cost selling in the food industry on a whole range of issues, from employment conditions and consumer choice to animal welfare and the maintenance of our producer base; is concerned at retailers demanding high levels of discounting disproportionate to production costs and attempting to shift costs to manufacturers and growers both locally and internationally; and therefore supports the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers Union, representing many of those working in the food industry in the UK, in its call for greater regulation to tackle the unfair advantages of big retailers in order to protect employment conditions within the food industry and the diversity of small manufacturers and producers.

This motion has been signed by a total of 50 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
