Peugeot (Coventry)

I thank my right hon. Friend for giving way, for dealing with manufacturing issues in the west midlands, and for recognising how key manufacturing is to our vital industries and the huge knowledge base that we possess. In order to continue to develop the different types of manufacturing, will she form a task force involving all the regional partners, including the trade unions? Given that her Parliamentary Private Secretary, my hon. Friend the Member for Burnley (Kitty Ussher), is, like me, a member of Amicus, I am sure that my right hon. Friend will continue to work with the trade unions.
