Proceeding contribution from Grahame Morris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 June 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Convention on Domestic Workers.


Convention on Domestic Workers

My hon. Friends have indicated that many domestic workers feel intimidated, and are unwilling to resort to traditional means. I do not accept the hon. Gentleman's assertion. Many of his arguments were deployed against the UK Government signing up to the convention on human trafficking, and in relation to basic health and safety. I do not accept that domestic workers are already covered by effective legislation.
