division_name: Manufacturing Industry
motion: <p>
   I beg to move,
  <p> 
   
    That this House notes the TUC forecast of 200,000 job losses in manufacturing resulting from this Government's economic policies, the fact that so many manufacturers have to make representations about export and trading problems, the absence of a stable and competitive exchange rate, the damage done by tax increases imposed on business and the forthcoming wage and labour relations problems coming from the Government's social and labour law agenda; and urges the Government to put the interests of manufacturing business higher up its agenda, changing policies before factories close and jobs are lost.
  <p>Question put,  That the original words stand part of the Question:--
  <p>The House divided:  Ayes 135, Noes 333.
