Proceeding contribution from Peter Luff (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 June 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Manufacturing and Employment.
Manufacturing and Employment
The hon. Gentleman is being generous in giving way. I am sure that he would not want to leave the House with the impression that manufacturing in this country is anything other than thriving in many respects. We have world-class technology in many sectors, including aerospace, automobiles, pharmaceuticals and so on. We are the sixth-largest manufacturing nation in the world. Yes, the sector faces problems at present, and it is wonderful that he is highlighting them, but equally, this is a fantastic opportunity for what remains a successful manufacturing base in this country.
