12.00.00am GMT Wed 17th Dec 2003

759,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost since Labour came to power according to House of Commons library figures commissioned by the Liberal Democrats. Paul Holmes MP, Liberal Democrat Shadow Minister for Work, said:"The manufacturing sector is sinking fast while the Government sits idly by."

"The Government has given up the fight to save manufacturing jobs and has left in the lurch the families dependent on those jobs to survive."

"Claims of record employment levels cannot mask the continuing decline in the manufacturing sector."
