Alan Whitehead comments on the Government’s green jobs announcement

"That's why Labour has called for a green economic recovery and a Jobs Promise to deliver good, green jobs in every part of the country. Labour would shape the green transition to protect people and places, support jobs and bring the public with us - putting communities, unions and workers at its heart.

"The Government will be judged on actions, not words. Ministers must step up and deliver a green transition focused on economic and social justice that people and planet urgently need."
