Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Lindsey Oil Refinery.


Lindsey Oil Refinery

Does the Minister accept that there are some very nasty undertones to the discussions surrounding the disputes? In times of difficulty, the traditional role of the Labour party, the labour movement and the trade unions has been to oppose xenophobia and discrimination and to try to engender a sense of solidarity among all workers to enable them to face the difficulties together. Will the Minister convey the message that we want people to be united in the face of economic difficulties, rather than some turning against others on the basis of their passports or ethnicity?
