Statement by Rosie Winterton, Minister for Yorkshire and the Humber, on Bradford & Bingley

Published: Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:44:36

"I am obviously extremely concerned about the potential impact that the financial difficulties of the Bradford & Bingley will have on the region and, in particular, for those people living in the Bingley and Bradford area. I very much welcome the fact that the Government has stepped in over the weekend, otherwise the bank would have gone under with all the resulting redundancies that would have meant. "

"I will be meeting the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Alistair Darling, on Wednesday, along with Tom Riordan, the chief executive of Yorkshire Forward, to discuss an action plan on how to support jobs in the region. "

"In Yorkshire and the Humber, we have a good track record of regional and local agencies working together in partnership to help those who may be affected by major redundancies find new training and employment opportunities."
