Business question from Keith Vaz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 30 November 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have an urgent debate on the state of manufacturing in the United Kingdom following the decision by GE to close its lighting factory in Leicester, which has been in existence for 60 years, putting at risk almost 400 jobs? The proposal is to move the work to Hungary. This important issue is relevant not just to Leicester, but to other constituencies about which decisions are made by people thousands of miles away that will have profound consequences for the local economy.
