Closure Of Whitworths, Warrington (EDM623)

Closure Of Whitworths, Warrington

EDM number 623 in 1999-00, proposed by Helen Jones on 10/04/2000.

That this House deplores the decision of Whitworths to close its factory in Warrington with the loss of approximately 250 jobs; regrets that the company failed to return to negotiations with Warrington Borough Council before announcing its decision; believes that its failure to recognise trade unions at its Warrington plant, while recognising them at its Irthlingborough site, is totally unjustifiable; and regards the proposed closure as a slap in the face for a loyal and diligent workforce.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
