Spanish jobs for British Government Agencies

With the economy in such a state and with British firms laying people off by the day, any small thing the government can do to promote British made products really can make a difference.

So why are the DVLA encouraging people to use their online services by offering each and every month as prizes Spanish built Seat Leon cars ?

Surely this would be the ideal time to be offering a Nissan made in Sunderland or a Honda made in Swindon or even a Mini from Oxford ? No. Not this government. It's a Seat from Spain that wins !

Forget the bacon, how about the government really committing funds to UK products


The BBC has a story about the fact that the government does not buy British bacon. However, there is a greater story behind this which successive government have ignored.

What about the government insisting on a far higher percentage of government departmental funding being spent on UK manufactured goods ?

Why do some government departments which have pool cars spend their money on cars manufactured in the UK ? Why aren't all police cars UK built cars ? Why do we but military uniforms made overseas ?

Simple questions, simple answers. The government does not prioritise UK made goods. Not this government and not the Tories before them. We need a genuine "Buy British" campaign at this difficult time and the government should take the lead.
