Modern Slavery

EDM number 392 in 2014-15, proposed by Alan Meale on 23/10/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Companies, Human rights and Manufacturing industries.

That this House believes that British citizens would prefer that the goods and services they purchase from UK companies were free as far as possible from involvement in aspects of modern slavery in either their production or supply; notes that the Government's current proposed legislation is limited in its objectives to ensure that UK supply chains are slavery-free; and calls on the Government, where necessary, to strengthen mechanisms to end this blight in our society.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
