That this House congratulates Lewisham Council and the 25 local retailers, 13 local cafes, six churches, five other groups and two colleges which together have enabled Lewisham to become a Fairtrade borough; notes that Lewisham joins Camden, Croydon, Lambeth and Kingston in Fairtrade status; further notes that Fairtrade campaigns are underway in 12 other London boroughs; and urges all honourable Members to encourage and promote these campaigns so that London itself might achieve the status of the biggest Fairtrade city in the world.
