Rebecca Long-Bailey MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State
for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, 
commenting on reports
that Vauxhall is planning to cut 400 jobs in Ellesmere Port, said:

“After the Government pledged to do everything it could to
protect Vauxhall workers when PSA took over the company earlier this year, we
are now seeing potential job losses.

“The Government’s lack of a bold and consistent industrial
strategy is holding Britain back. The Government cannot simply offer secretive
bespoke deals to some car manufacturers and not others.

“The Government urgently needs to support the plant, provide
Brexit certainty to the sector and attract the investment it urgently
needs.”
