Tabled in the 2014-15 session.

MOTION TEXT

That this House notes with concern the conditions of brick labourers in India;
emphasises the fact that many of these labourers see abuses of minimum wage
rates and health and safety regulations; further notes that many work up to 16
hours a day; further notes that children as young as four years old are also
working in these conditions; further notes that such labour is often bonded
labour and that a recent BBC report brought to light examples of workers having
their hands cut off when trying to escape; welcomes the work by Union Solidarity
International in highlighting these abuses through its Blood Bricks campaign;
highlights the 2011 UN and OECD guidelines specifying that multinational
companies should have direct responsibility for human rights abuses anywhere in
their supply chains; is concerned that these guidelines are not being enforced;
stresses that any and every industry using new buildings in India should be
under scrutiny; and calls on the Government to bring forward legislation to
enforce these guidelines in UK law and to raise these issues in international
negotiations.
