2. OPPOSITION DAY (20TH ALLOTTED DAY)
Until 7.00pm (Standing Order No. 9(3))
Supporting the automotive industry
Keir Starmer
Angela Rayner
Jonathan Reynolds
Louise Haigh
Thangam Debbonaire
Sir Alan Campbell
That this House recognises that the automotive industry is the jewel in the crown of British manufacturing and believes it can have a bright future creating good jobs for people across the UK; regrets that after 13 years of Conservative neglect the UK risks losing this world-class industry, putting thousands of jobs under threat; condemns the Government for its lack of an industrial strategy and the negative impact this has had on investment in the UK’s automotive sector; calls on the Government to urgently resolve the rules of origin changes which are due to take effect in 2024, working with partners across Europe to negotiate a deal that works for manufacturers; and further calls on the Government to adopt an active industrial strategy to build the battery factory capacity needed to secure the automotive sector for decades to come.
Keir Starmer
Angela Rayner
Wes Streeting
Andrew Gwynne
Helen Hayes
Sir Alan Campbell
That this House is concerned that children are being inappropriately exposed to e-cigarette promotions and that under-age vaping has increased by 50% in just the last three years; condemns the Government for its failure to act to protect children by voting against the addition of measures to prohibit branding which is appealing to children on e-cigarette packaging during the passage of the Health and Care Act 2022 and for failing to bring forward the tobacco control plan that it promised by the end of 2021; and therefore calls on the Government to ban vapes from being branded and advertised to appeal to children and to work with local councils and the NHS to help ensure that e-cigarettes are being used as an aid to stop smoking, rather than as a new form of smoking.
Notes:
The selection of the matters to be debated has been made by the Leader of the Opposition (Standing Order No. 14(2)).
