Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Ian Swales (Liberal Democrat), on Wednesday, 26 May 2010, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 14 members in total.


CORUS TEESSIDE CAST PRODUCTS PLANT

That this House notes with regret the decision taken at the end of January 2010 to close the Corus Teesside Cast Products (TCP) plant; recognises that the decision to mothball the TCP Redcar blast furnace has led directly to the loss of 1,600 local jobs and indirectly to many more; urges the Government to ensure that the carbon credits attached to the operator are retained so that steel production can also restart under a new owner; appeals to Corus to make available surplus land to encourage new investment and business opportunities in Teesside; and calls on the Government to facilitate a speedy resolution to bring about decisive action to help Teesside.
