Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Manufacturing and Employment.

Manufacturing and Employment

The car components industry, which feeds Toyota and others, is a significant employer in North-West Leicestershire. About 20 per cent. of 18 to 24-year-olds were employed in manufacturing in 1997. That figure has more than halved over the past 10 years, and a generation of young people who feel frozen out of the job market are now showing an interest in the politics of the far right. That is one of the lessons that we learned last Thursday.
