Job Losses At Gec Engineering (Accrington) (EDM211)

Job Losses At Gec Engineering (Accrington)

EDM number 211 in 1994-95, proposed by Greg Pope on 07/12/1994.

That this House notes with concern the proposed loss of over 200 jobs at GEC Engineering (Accrington) as a result of the continuing recession in the aircraft industry; recognises that these redundancies are a disaster for the workforce and will cause real damage to the skills base of the East Lancashire economy; further notes that GEC is a cash rich company which recorded pre-tax profits in the last financial year of $866 million, and which can afford to bid for VSEL but apparently cannot afford to stand by its loyal workforce in Accrington; believes that GEC Engineering (Accrington) should be given further time to prove its economic viability; and therefore calls on the GEC board to defer these proposed redundancies pending talks with the trade unions, local authorities, honourable Members and other interested bodies.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
