Barclaycard Job Losses In Manchester (No. 2) (EDM1071)

Barclaycard Job Losses In Manchester (No. 2)

EDM number 1071 in 2006-07, proposed by Tony Lloyd on 07/03/2007.

That this House regrets the decision of Barclaycard to close their call centre in Manchester; notes that the loss of 630 jobs is a major blow to the Manchester Central constituency, which still figures in the top five constituencies for unemployment in the UK; is concerned that the decision to relocate to India comes at a time when other British companies are relocating call centres back from India; notes Barclaycard's promise to re-employ its existing staff within the company; expects such employment offers to be reasonably located for existing staff; and calls upon Barclaycard to offer an explanation for their change of heart in reversing their commitment to relocate to Spinningfields in Central Manchester.

This motion has been signed by a total of 26 MPs.
