David Cameron praises i54 plant
The Prime Minister this afternoon hailed the creation of Jaguar Land Rover’s flagship new engine plant between Telford and Wolverhampton as he pledged to do more to make Britain a business-friendly country.
David Cameron was responding during the first Prime Minister’s Questions of the new term to a question from South Staffordshire MP Gavin Williamson.
The Tory MP praised JLR for creating the £355 million engine plant at the i54 business park in Fordhouses, just off the M54, and for taking on thousands of new workers at its other plants.
Mr Cameron said: “Jaguar Land Rover hired a massive 8,000 new workers. It’s a big success for inward investment from the Indian parent company.” The sales boom is good for Telford and Shropshire firms reliant on the automotive supply trade.

It would seem that the tories have much to learn about investing in British manaufacturing and faith in the British worker. Why does it take Indian ownership and management to do what British management can't. Or Japanese or ammerican or almost anywhere else. Where is the British investment in manufacturing quality goods with world wide demand?
