British Tradesmen

EDM number 1110 in 2009-10, proposed by Bob Spink on 16/03/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Industry.

That this House notes with concern that British tradesmen are being priced out of the market by EU nationals; further notes that despite not being offered the original contracts, British workers are often called in to tidy up after initially poor workmanship by foreign nationals; recognises that this practice is discouraging and preventing apprenticeships in small and medium-sized enterprises and is damaging to British tradesmen and companies, and bad for the economy; and therefore calls on the Government to conduct an investigation into this matter and take steps to support British workers and industries.

This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
