Jobs On The Olympic Site

EDM number 762 in 2009-10, proposed by Diane Abbott on 01/02/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Construction industry and Employment.

That this House recognises that unemployment is rising in London; notes that jobs on the Olympic site are set to increase by over 2,000 in 2010; further notes that just 20 per cent. of workers employed on the Olympic site live in one of the five Olympic boroughs; believes that more needs to be done to utilise local workers; and calls on the Government to set targets to encourage Olympic construction companies to employ locally.

This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs.
