Cocoa Industry And Trafficking
Mike Hancock
2008-06-30
That this House calls attention to the trafficking of an estimated 12,000 children into slavery on cocoa farms in Cote d'Ivoire to make the chocolate that is consumed in the UK; notes with dismay that the cocoa industry will not meet its commitments to eradicate the worst forms of child labour in supply chains by 1st July 2008, and thus it continues to profit from modern-day child slavery; is concerned with the lack of Government pressure on the industry to uphold children's rights; calls on the cocoa industry to guarantee its products are not made by trafficked children; and further calls on the Government to hold chocolate manufacturers to account.
