Most recent appearances
- Business, Innovation and Skills: First Capital Connect (12 Nov 2009)
“I note the Minister's strictures about drivers, but will he also bear in mind the fact that the company involved has a terrible record? Therefore, will he—or one of his ministerial colleagues—stand ready to intervene personally if it fails to get an agreement with the drivers and others in the very near future?”
- Business, Innovation and Skills: Small and Medium-sized Businesses (12 Nov 2009)
“Will my right hon. Friend look at access to finance for research and development in manufacturing and, in particular, the position in Coventry, where Ericsson is sacking 700 skilled workers because it cannot access R and D money owing to its status as a cost centre, and not a profit centre? That seems a big restriction.”
