Lord Mandelson visits the Vauxhall plant Ellesmere Port
The Business Secretary Lord Mandelson visited GM’s car-making plant in Ellesmere Port, Merseyside yesterday where he met unions officials and Vauxhall workers.
As part of those talks he confirmed the Government has been having with all the parties involved in the sale of the Vauxhall marque and reiterated the Government’s commitment to continued Vauxhall production in the UK.
Lord Mandelson said: “We are determined to continue out detailed discussions with RHJI, Magna and other interested parties to secure a long term commercial future for Vauxhall.
“I and my officials are in constant contact with the US and German governments and GM and others to ensure Britain’s interests are fully represented.
“As one of GMEs most efficient plants, Ellesmere Port produces one of the UK’s favourite cars, the Vauxhall Astra and I hope one day the Ampera.
“Vauxhall is an excellent and very popular UK brand. Continued Vauxhall production remains a top priority for this government.”
