Job Losses At Ingersoll-Rand, Hindley Green
EDM number 38 in 2001-02, proposed by Andy Burnham on 27/06/2001.
That this House notes with grave concern the plans announced by Ingersoll-Rand to relocate its manufacturing base for compressors from Hindley Green to the Czech Republic; believes that the resulting loss of 250 jobs would be a bitter blow to this former coalfield area and communities across the Hindley Green, Leigh and Wigan areas; urges the Department for Trade and Industry to open a dialogue with the company and the AEEU trade union as a matter or urgency; and calls on Ingersoll-Rand to give full consideration to the strong case for maintaining its manufacturing operation at the Hindley Green plant, which has a proven track record for quality and high productivity.
This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
