DELPHI DIESEL SYSTEMS IN SUDBURY

Early day motion 170, tabled 11 July 2017 by Sandy Martin (Labour). Signed by 18 members.

That this House expresses grave concern about the potential closure of Delphi Diesel Systems in Sudbury; urges the company to engage in meaningful consultation with workers at the site; notes that the Sudbury site is the most profitable in the UK, returning profits in the region of £1 million month on month; challenges Delphi Diesel on any business strategy which relies on offshoring as a failure to recruit and retain the levels of skilled workers required; hopes that the rumoured closure of the Sudbury site is not part of a strategy to ultimately pull out of the UK altogether; is therefore worried about the effect that closure will have on the workforce, the local economy and the sustainability on the rest of the UK-based Delphi Diesel operation; and calls on the company to engage in constructive relations with Unite to resolve the dispute.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, DUP 1, Scottish National Party 1.
