Government backing for GM great news for UK industry
12 March 2010
Reacting to today's announcement that the Government is to
provide a £275 million loan to General Motors to support its UK
plants, Tony Woodley, Unite joint general secretary said: “This
announcement is great news for British industry. The loan will help
save thousands of jobs in Vauxhall’s operations and in the 400
companies in its supply chain.
“Nothing could illustrate more clearly the difference between
Labour’s proactive approach to helping manufacturing and the
short-sighted do-nothing attitude of the Tories. With Cameron and
Osborne in Downing Street, these jobs would be lost.”
