§ David Davis (Haltemprice and Howden)This petition is from the work force at BAE Systems, Brough, where the Hawk aircraft is manufactured. They have faced savage job losses in the past few years, and again face another 400 to 450 redundancies in the coming few months, partly as a result of delays in the ordering of the aircraft by the Ministry of Defence. The petition states:
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urge Her Majesty's Government do all in its power to ensure that negotiations concerning the future of BAE Systems Brough, and the manufacture of Hawk aircraft, are resolved as quickly as possible, so as to ensure the continued viability of the facility and the protection of their jobs.
§ And the Petitioners remain, etc.
§ To lie upon the Table.
