Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 July 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on UK Manufacturing.
UK Manufacturing
I agree entirely with my right hon. Friend about the importance of manufacturing and preparing for the upturn when it comes. Will he and the Secretary of State do everything possible to sustain the General Motors van plant in Luton—the best van plant in Europe, which produces the best vans in Europe and, I would argue, has the best work force in Europe? It is vital for our future.
