Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Stephen Hepburn (Labour), on Tuesday, 15 June 2010, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 27 members in total.


PROPOSED CLOSURE OF TRENCH (UK) ON TYNESIDE

That this House deplores the actions of Siemens in proposing to close Trench (UK) on Tyneside and transferring its production to France and Germany; notes that Trench (UK), which has 96 employees, has a healthy order book, is making good profits and is a world leader in manufacturing its high-tech product for the electricity supply sector; further notes that the reason Siemens is giving the workforce for the closure is based on out-of-date information; and calls on Siemens' senior management to look again at its proposals.
