PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
HOUSE OF COMMONS PICTURE AND HP SAUCE LABELS (11 October 2006)
Motion Details
That this House deplores the retention of the picture of the House of Commons on HP sauce labels following the decision by new owners Heinz Plc to remove production from the historic Aston site to Holland, making the 125 employees redundant; believes that Heinz should not exploit this symbol of Britishness to sell a product no longer made in the United Kingdom; and calls upon the Administration Committee to remove HP sauce from all House dining areas until the jobs are reinstated or the House of Commons picture is removed from the label.
