Rolls-Royce In Liverpool

EDM number 697 in 2007-08, proposed by Joe Benton on 15/01/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Employment and Manufacturing industries.

That this House congratulates the Liverpool Rolls-Royce workers and their trade union Unite for their efforts to produce a plan aimed at reducing the cost gap between remaining in Netherton and relocating to the US; notes that it is of great importance to the North West economy to retain 212 highly skilled, high-tech jobs in the area together with the training of apprentices; further notes that Rolls-Royce has been given heavy support and subsidy by successive UK Governments over four decades and has also been the recipient of large numbers of Government contracts; and calls on the North West Regional Development Agency and Government to provide whatever support is necessary to persuade Rolls-Royce to remain at the Netherton factory.

This motion has been signed by a total of 41 MPs.
