Nia
Griffith MP, Labour’s Shadow Defence Secretary, responding to news that BAE will
cut over 1000 jobs on its Eurofighter programme, said:
“This
is devastating news for the workers and their families.
"The
men and women who work on the Eurofighter are highly skilled and the potential
loss of these jobs would have an appalling impact on them, the local economy
and wider supply chains.
"The
Government must come forward urgently with a clear plan to secure these jobs at
BAE, as well as a proper defence industrial strategy to give the industry the
certainty that it needs.”
