DEBATE ON MANUFACTURING

Early day motion 783, tabled 1 February 2002 by Claire Curtis-Thomas (Labour). Signed by 53 members.

That this House recognises and applauds the initiatives of the Government to aid those involved in all levels of the manufacturing industry; welcomes the various financial incentives proposed in the pre-budget report 2001; wishes to see that impetus is not lost in providing further support for the industry; and therefore calls for the Government to table a motion for a debate on the floor of the House so that honourable Members can fully express their views on the state of the manufacturing industry in Great Britain.

Signatures by party: Labour 42, Liberal Democrat 6, Labour/Co-operative 3, Conservative 1, UUP 1.
