1
OPPOSITION DAY (1st allotted day)
[Until 7.00 pm]
 
GOVERNMENT SUPPORT FOR INDUSTRY
Ms Harriet Harman
Mr Pat McFadden
Mr Alistair Darling
Yvette Cooper
Mr Liam Byrne
Mr Nicholas Brown
 
   That this House notes the need for a clear deficit reduction plan, and that such a plan must have at its heart measures to foster growth and create the conditions for a strong business-led recovery; believes Government has a crucial role to play in fostering economic growth and in creating a better-balanced economy; supports strategic decisions to back key sectors such as digital, life sciences, low carbon manufacturing and civil nuclear power; congratulates the previous Government for supporting businesses through the downturn and laying the foundations for the UK to be globally competitive as the country makes the transition to a low carbon economy; expresses serious concern that the Government’s decisions risk removing key support for business and industry at a critical moment in the economic cycle; further believes that cutting investment allowances will pull away vital support for manufacturers seeking to invest and grow; further notes that the Government’s scaling back of the regional development agencies at a time when recovery is fragile will impact on investment vital for regional economies; and regrets the coalition Government’s decision to place a question mark over a number of vital industrial support decisions taken by the previous Government.
   As an Amendment to Ms Harriet Harman’s proposed Motion (Government support for industry):
The Prime Minister
The Deputy Prime Minister
Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer
Secretary Vince Cable
Mr Secretary Duncan Smith
Secretary Chris Huhne
Danny Alexander   
Mr David Willetts
