Cameron: Government will do all it can for Sandwich
Posted by Laura Sandys, MP for South Thanet, at 14:29, Wed 2 February 2011:
Today the Prime Minister assured me in Prime Minister's Question Time that the Government is going to do everything it can to support the site at Pfizer. Cameron has spoken to Pfizer personally and there are a range of plans and proposals that are being pursued to secure a future for the site and for the employees. The Prime Minister paid tribute to the “brilliant employees doing great work” and committed the Government to doing everything that it can to get new investment into Sandwich.
“While this is an uncertain time for us all in East Kent, I have been very impressed by the action that Ministers and the Prime minister has taken over the last 24 hours. There are a range of options that we need to consider and Pfizer itself is at the heart of working to identify a future of the site.”
“I have had commitments from the Minister of State, David Willets, that Ministers will promote this state of the art site in Sandwich and the Minister will be leading a Taskforce to help attract investment and encourage other companies to take advantage of the site.”
