Effect Of Spending Reductions On Seaside Resort Economies

EDM number 13 in 2012-13, proposed by Adrian Sanders on 09/05/2012.
Categorised under the topics of Marine environment and Public expenditure.

That this House notes thatthe seven local authority areas with the largest percentage of their population in receipt of local housing allowance are coastal areas containing some of the nation's best known seaside resorts; further notes that seaside resorts dependent on tourism tend to have economies built on low value, low paid, insecure employment where cuts to welfare cannot easily be replaced outside the black economy; and calls on the Government to review urgently the impact of welfare reforms on coastal economies, and seaside resorts in particular, so that such areas do not suffer disproportionately from public spending cuts.

This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
