MANUFACTURING: David Cameron spoke at the Construction Academy at the Halifax Skills Centre
October 2013 - 3rd Edition
Prime Minister visits Halifax By Ashley Grint ashley@asianexpress.co.uk
Prime Minister David Cameron paid a visit to a local West Yorkshire Academy earlier this week as he recognised the county’s growing manufacturing contribution. Speaking at the Halifax Skills Centre’s Construction Academy, on Thursday 10th October, the Prime Minister was full of praise for Yorkshire and spoke of how the region’s economy plays a crucial role for the nation. Statistically, the county has the second highest manufacturing contribution to regional Gross Value Added (GVA), making up 15 per cent of Yorkshire and Humber’s total GVA. When asked about the importance of linking the North with the South via the proposed HS2 link, Mr Cameron stressed that it is vital that major cities, across the whole country, ‘not just
the south’, have the most efficient transport links. Speaking to the Asian Express, he said: “I think it is absolutely vital. I want to see an economic recovery and economic growth right across the country, north and south. The great thing about HS2 is that it links together eight of the ten biggest cities in Britain. “We have to build new railway lines because our current ones are running out of capacity so the only choice is do we opt for the traditional line or do we build a high speed one so I think it is only right to build the high speed line. “Obviously there are some people that are disappointed that HS2 doesn’t serve their particular town or city but the point to them which I would make is HS2 will free up a lot of capacity on existing lines so there will be more opportunity to run more services. “If we don’t make these sort of investments we will find that we will run out of that capacity.”
