Leigh Ingham

Labour — Stafford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 17 June 2026

Debate

Private Sector Investment: Lancashire

Contribution

It was interesting to hear the Minister name a number of towns in relation to manufacturing roles. In our towns, we have on average 9% employment in manufacturing, whereas in cities, that figure is 4%. Does the Minister agree that in towns, if we really push our manufacturing sector, we can massively increase the number of good, unionised jobs available to people in those areas?
