Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Tony Lloyd (Labour), on Wednesday, 7 March 2007, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 26 members in total.
BARCLAYCARD JOB LOSSES IN MANCHESTER (No. 2)
That this House regrets the decision of Barclaycard to close their call centre in Manchester; notes that the loss of 630 jobs is a major blow to the Manchester Central constituency, which still figures in the top five constituencies for unemployment in the UK; is concerned that the decision to relocate to India comes at a time when other British companies are relocating call centres back from India; notes Barclaycard's promise to re-employ its existing staff within the company; expects such employment offers to be reasonably located for existing staff; and calls upon Barclaycard to offer an explanation for their change of heart in reversing their commitment to relocate to Spinningfields in Central Manchester.
