PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
IMPORTATION OF COLUMBIAN COAL (27 October 1992)
Motion Details
That this House totally condemns the importation of foreign coal and the detrimental effects this has on the British coal industry; condemns in particular the importation of Colombian coal mined by cheap labour and child labour; recognises that the citizens of Great Britain are disgusted by the utilization of Colombian coal mined under such conditions; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to condemn this wholly immoral situation and to exert its influence in bringing about the cancellation of all Colombian coal contracts.
