Rebecca Long-Bailey MP, Labour’s Shadow Business Secretary, commenting on a leaked report which reveals over a thousand jobs are at risk at Ford’s Bridgend base, said:  

‘’Today’s leak is deeply worrying for the 1,160 workers at Ford’s Bridgend plant who may lose their jobs by 2021.

“The Government must urgently provide further details of the dialogue they have had with Ford and provide much needed assurances to the families who will be affected.

“It is becoming clearer each week that the Government’s approach is to jump from crisis to crisis and offer assurances to individual companies on a piecemeal basis. This is failing to give the manufacturing sector the certainty it so needs.’’
