That this House commends UK companies, large and small, that are creating an economy that is based on sustainability, believes that retaining a sustainable manufacturing base is important to reducing the UK's carbon emissions; further believes that clean technology and sustainable manufacturing and services will become increasingly important in the development of future economies around the world; is concerned by any outmoded perceptions of British manufacturing as being dirty, poor quality or a second-rate occupation; is further concerned by the number of British companies in the manufacturing sector that have ceased trading or have moved their operations overseas in the last three years; and welcomes campaigns created from within the sector to celebrate British green industries and demonstrate to the public, both at home and abroad, the excellence that exists in the UK.
