Labour MP Support for Vestas Workers

I have received a reply from Bedford MP Patrick Hall to my letter urging his support for an early day motion (EDM) tabled by John McDonnell, requesting Government support for the factory to save jobs.

Patrick Hall supports the EDM and has added his signature to it.

Vestas: Labour MP's Must Act

If enough Labour MP's backed an 'early day motion' tabled by Labour MP John McDonnell, the Government could be persuaded to keep the Vestas wind turbine factory open. Taking the factory into public ownership is the best option.

I have written to the two Labour MP's in Bedfordshire - Kelvin Hopkins (Luton North) and Patrick Hall (Bedford) - asking for their support for John McDonnell's motion.

Meanwhile, the workers' occupation of the factory continues, despite problems with food supplies.
