Proceeding contribution from Angela Eagle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 March 2017. It occurred during Urgent question on Opel/Vauxhall: Sale to PSA Group.
Opel/Vauxhall: Sale to PSA Group
I have constituents who work in the Ellesmere Port plant and many others are reliant for their employment on local supply chains, so this is causing huge worry in the area. What can the Secretary of State say to reassure my constituents about the future, particularly given that our employment laws make it easier to sack workers in the UK compared with those who work in France and Germany, which puts them at an immediate disadvantage? What can he say to reassure them about the fact that we are leaving the EU and the single market, which again potentially puts them at a disadvantage in the competition to come?
