Proceeding contribution from Margaret Greenwood (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 commend the Secretary of State for his dialogue with the trade unions and hope he is able to give us a commitment that he will continue that. Interestingly, he does not seem to be answering the questions on Brexit head-on. Many of my constituents work at Vauxhall’s Ellesmere Port plant, and they are very concerned about this. Given the risk that thousands of high-skilled jobs of the future may go, and given the importance of the plant to the region’s economy, what are the Government doing to ensure future EU market access for this industry and other important exporting industries?
