Proceeding contribution from Gordon Birtwistle (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on Emerging Economies.
Emerging Economies
My concern, which the hon. Gentleman may well be able to answer, is about the fact that the emerging markets have now taken away our heavy industry—shipbuilding, steel and things of that nature. How do you see this country fighting back against the emerging markets, with jobs of the future? I accept that we have advanced engineering in aerospace and other such sectors, but many residents of the country do not have the skills to be involved in that type of industry. How do you see the UK fighting back against the emerging markets in respect of less skilled jobs?
