The Bombardier parnership with Airbus is welcome, but should not justify the Government taking its foot off the pedal - Long-Bailey

Rebecca Long-Bailey MP, Labour’s Shadow Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, commenting on Bombardier partnering with Airbus on C-Series jets, said: 

“This partnership is a welcome step in the right direction for Bombardier, Airbus and their workers and the pairing of two cutting edge product lines is exciting for the future of aerospace manufacturing. 

“However, this should in no way justify the Government taking its foot off the pedal in the US tariff dispute with Boeing. The Government must ensure that unjust tariffs are removed and existing jobs protected.”
