The motion

That this House notes that 28th April is International Workers Memorial Day; commemorates those who have died as a result of work; and calls on the Government to do what it can to officially mark the day whilst at the same time reducing the death toll caused by work by increasing resources for prevention of ill-health and injury in the workplace as recommended by the recent Work and Pensions Select Committee, Third Report of Session 2007-08, on The role of the Health and Safety Commission and the Health and Safety Executive in regulating workplace health and safety, HC 246-I.
