Proceeding contribution from Brian Jenkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 October 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on Economic Recovery.
Economic Recovery
Mention has been made of apprenticeships. Does the hon. Gentleman fear, as I do, that the recessions of the 1980s and 1990s, and now this recession, might well have pushed a critical mass of employees in manufacturing—and in engineering, in particular—down to a level at which we are no longer able to regenerate and reskill ourselves? Does he agree that it will take direct Government involvement to re-establish our manufacturing base?
