Future Of Vauxhall

EDM number 1862 in 2008-09, proposed by Andrew Selous on 13/07/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Employment and Manufacturing industries.

That this House notes with concern the prospect of job losses at car plants at Ellesmere Port and Luton following the restructuring of GM Europe; further notes that the Government's Automotive Assistance Programme has yet to issue a single loan in the six months since its creation; believes that ensuring a sustainable future for these plants will require the development of a prudent business plan which minimises the risk to the taxpayer; and calls on the Government to work with the new owners of GM Europe, local management and trade unions to develop such a plan and reach a solution which secures Vauxhall's future in the UK, represents good value for money and safeguards as many jobs as possible.

This motion has been signed by a total of 23 MPs.
