Last week during Prime Ministers questions, the Rt. Hon. David Cameron MP praised British manufacturing, particularly the car industry. This came in response to a question put to him by Gavin Williamson MP for South Staffordshire.
Speaking in the Chamber Gavin Williamson MP said:
‘The last few weeks have seen the start of the £350 million construction of Jaguar Land Rover’s new engine plant in my constituency. Does my right hon. Friend agree that that is a sign of growing confidence and belief in British manufacturing, which is in stark contrast to the destruction wrought on it by the last Labour Government?’
In response to which the Rt. Hon. David Cameron MP, Prime Minister, said:
‘My hon. Friend makes an important point. The Jaguar Land Rover news is excellent news for the west midlands and for British manufacturing and British car making. The good news is that what is happening in the car industry is not confined to Jaguar Land Rover: Nissan, Honda and Toyota are all expanding across our country. That is very good news for British manufacturing.’
