LDV

Early day motion 1408, tabled 30 April 2009 by Richard Burden (Labour). Signed by 37 members.

That this House is deeply worried by the announcement that the Birmingham based van-maker LDV has applied to go into administration; notes that over 800 jobs are under threat at LDV and thousands more amongst dealerships and the wider supply chain; recognises that these are skilled, relatively well-paid jobs in one of Britain's manufacturing heartlands; further recognises the assistance the Government has already provided, including the deferment of tax payments; and calls on the Government to do everything it can, proactively as well as reactively, to help secure a viable future for this key strategic manufacturer including the production of a new generation of electric vans.

Signatures by party: Labour 24, Liberal Democrat 5, Conservative 2, DUP 2, Independent 2, Independent Labour 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
