Labour to urge Tories to support creation of 400k green jobs

LABOUR is challenging the government to help create hundreds of thousands of new jobs, with the majority of them in the manufacturing and green sectors.

The party will call on the Tories today to back a Build it in Britain scheme and support 400,000 new jobs for a green recovery from the coronavirus economic crisis.  

Ahead of this month’s Comprehensive Spending Review, Labour is pressing for new high-skilled jobs in every part of Britain as part of a drive towards “a clean economy.”
