Forgemasters Madness Hits Sheffield

 

Sheffield’s Labour MPs launched a petition calling for Nick Clegg and the coalition Lib Dem-Tory government to rethink their decision to scrap the £80 million loan to Sheffield Forgemasters.

 

Paul Blomfield MP, Member of Parliament for Sheffield Central, said:
“People are very angry about the Forgemasters loan being scrapped and the huge amount of support our petition has got so far reflects that. I’d urge everyone who opposes this disastrous decision by Nick Clegg and the coalition government to sign the petition and pass it on to friends, family and neighbours”.

 

Clive Betts MP, Member of Parliament for Sheffield South East, said:
“Scrapping the loan to Forgemasters is madness and people in Sheffield know that. The loan would have created jobs and the Government would have got the money back with interest. It’s not too late for the Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg to listen to the people of Sheffield and think again.”
