That this House commends Kirkby Lonsdale on its application to become a Fairtrade Town; notes that the town is making good progress towards meeting the five criteria for Fairtrade Town status; and celebrates the Fairtrade Town movement, which was started in May 2000 when Garstang in Lancashire declared itself the world's first Fairtrade Town.
