Prime Minister Andy Burnham will urge the European Union not to shut the UK out of its “Made in Europe” public procurement scheme when he meets European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on the margins of the United Nations General Assembly in New York on Tuesday.
Burnham is expected to warn of the risk of “collateral damage” to UK industries from the EU scheme, which is designed to boost domestic production and shield European companies from unfair competition from China.
