Dixons Carphone In Wednesbury

EDM number 86 in 2015-16, proposed by Adrian Bailey on 08/06/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Companies, Employment and Industrial relations.

That this House notes with grave concern Dixons Carphone's announcement that it intends to close its factory in Wednesbury and relocate the plant 90 miles away in Newark, leading to the loss of 500 jobs from the local area and £8 million from the local economy; further notes that this is on the back of Dixons Carphone reporting an increase in sales of 9 per cent; and supports the Communications Workers Union campaign calling on Dixons Carphone to reconsider its decision and keep Wednesbury working.

This motion has been signed by a total of 8 MPs.
