6th July 2009 - Save Our Steel petition

It has been widely reported that the steel manufacturer Corus has announced redundancies at its plants around the region.

At this difficult time, Rotherham MP Denis MacShane has launched a petition to the House of Commons, which Linda is supporting. The petition reads as follows;

The petition of residents of Rotherham, and others,

Declares that the petitioners are concerned about the decline of the steel industry in South Yorkshire.

The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to make time for a full debate on the state of the steel industry, and to bring forward recommendations, to be considered by the House, to ensure its survival.

You can download the petition (33kb, PDF) by clicking here. Please do print it out and ask your friends, family and colleagues to sign. Every signature will help.

Petitions need to be returned by post to Denis MacShane MP at the House of Commons on or before July 14th.
