Former Rover Workers Need Appropriate Jobs

1.05.00pm BST (GMT +0100) Thu 16th Jun 2005

Responding to remarks by Margaret Hodge on the opportunities for former Rover employees to work in Tescos, Liberal Democrat Shadow Trade and Industry Secretary, Norman Lamb MP said:

"These ill judged remarks by Margaret Hodge will be of little use to former Rover employees.

"These workers should be encouraged to find jobs where they can use their engineering and other skills.

"The Government should do all it can to create appropriate employment opportunities for these highly trained workers."
