FUTURE OF VAUXHALL

Early day motion 1862, tabled 13 July 2009 by Andrew Selous (Conservative). Signed by 23 members.

That this House notes with concern the prospect of job losses at car plants at Ellesmere Port and Luton following the restructuring of GM Europe; further notes that the Government's Automotive Assistance Programme has yet to issue a single loan in the six months since its creation; believes that ensuring a sustainable future for these plants will require the development of a prudent business plan which minimises the risk to the taxpayer; and calls on the Government to work with the new owners of GM Europe, local management and trade unions to develop such a plan and reach a solution which secures Vauxhall's future in the UK, represents good value for money and safeguards as many jobs as possible.

Signatures by party: Conservative 11, Labour 6, DUP 3, Liberal Democrat 2, Independent 1.
