Proceeding contribution from Lord Field of Birkenhead (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 November 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Remploy.


Remploy

Will the Secretary of State say what decision he has made on the Remploy factory in the Wirral? Will he clarify the conditions for workers moving from secure employment to the private sector? Are we right to conclude that they will never suffer pay cuts or cuts in pension entitlement throughout their working lives? Although everyone in the House wants the Government's programme to be a success, sometimes successes are more difficult to achieve than we realise at the outset. Will the Secretary of State come back to the House in a year's time so that we can consider how performance has matched his high hopes? ...Wirral? ...It might be Birkenhead, or Wallasey.
