ERICSSON IN WARRINGTON

Early day motion 187, tabled 25 November 2002 by Helen Jones (Labour). Signed by 18 members.

That this House deplores the decision by Ericsson to close down its operatin in Warrington and to concentrate its workforce in the South of England; believes that high-tech, well-paid jobs are essential to the North West economy; and believes that if Ericsson has no faith in the region, North West consumers should demonstrate their lack of faith in Ericsson products.
