Labour Diversity Fund Campaign

EDM number 409 in 2010-12, proposed by John Robertson on 06/07/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Equality and Political parties.

That this House supports the campaign within the Labour Party for the creation of a fund within the Labour Party that local parties can draw on to develop talented individuals from under-represented groups to provide bursaries and grants to individuals who would be unable to sustain the costs of candidacy; recognises that there is unacceptably low representation in Parliament of groups from low-income backgrounds such as manual workers, ethnic minorities, women and disabled people; and calls on all sides of the House to campaign for similar funds to be created.

This motion has been signed by a total of 50 MPs.
