The Bombardier partnership with Airbus is welcome, but should not justify the Government taking its foot off the pedal – Long-Bailey

Rebecca
Long-Bailey MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and
Industrial Strategy,
commenting on Bombardier partnering with Airbus on C-Series jets, said:

“This
partnership is a welcome step in the right direction for Bombardier, Airbus and
their workers and the pairing of two cutting edge product lines is exciting for
the future of aerospace manufacturing.

“However,
this should in no way justify the Government taking its foot off the pedal in
the US tariff dispute with Boeing. The Government must ensure that unjust
tariffs are removed and existing jobs protected.”
