SINCE new Labour came to power in 1997 one and a half million jobs have been lost in British manufacturing industry.
Gordon Brown has poured money into public services but has completely forgotten that it is also very important to invest in the manufacturing industry.
Britain already has a large balance of payments deficit and this will continue to grow unless we invest some of our money in manufacturing industry.
