Proceeding contribution from Pat McFadden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 July 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on UK Manufacturing.


UK Manufacturing

That kind of policy is the last thing that our manufacturing industries need, particularly in the midst of a downturn when we hope that hard-pressed industries are able to take investment decisions in order to prepare for the upturn when it comes. The Conservative party has come up with a policy that would strike at the heart of those investment decisions, and that is the very opposite of the support that manufacturing industry needs.
