超过90名英国工党后座议员向首相Andy Burnham发出警告，指出若不以位于曼彻斯特的“首相官邸北馆”（No 10 North）为核心据点坚定推进国家工业复兴战略，该计划将面临失败的风险1。议员们认为，鉴于英国在过去数十年间经历了严重的去工业化进程，政府在产业政策上存在知识缺陷，亟需通过强有力的顶层设计与具体举措加以弥补1。
为扭转这一局面，议员们提出了一系列具体的政策建议，其中包括呼吁议会尽快通过《工业复兴法》，并设定明确的制造业创就业目标1。在组织架构上，他们提议由首席秘书Louise Haigh负责协调全国的工业复兴工作，并将其办公基地正式设立在曼彻斯特的No 10 North1。此外，议员们还主张将现有的国家财富基金（National Wealth Fund）转型为专门的“工业复兴发展公司”1。
此前，工党高层John Healey曾在党内会议上公开承诺开启一个“新的工业化时代”1。与此同时，政府近期已做出决定，将对英国钢铁公司实施国有化1。来自工党后座的议员Andy MacNae进一步强调，未来的工业政策必须关注“最需要就业的地方”，确保复苏红利能够惠及那些长期遭受去工业化冲击的社区1。
More than 90 Labour backbenchers have warned Prime Minister Andy Burnham that his industrial renaissance agenda risks failure unless it is firmly driven from the government's office at No 10 North in Manchester. 1 The warning comes as the group presses for concrete structural changes to reverse decades of deindustrialisation and address what they describe as a knowledge gap in governmental industrial policy. 1
Central to the MPs' demands is the introduction of an Industrial Renaissance Act, which would establish clear targets for manufacturing job creation. 1 They have also proposed converting the National Wealth Fund into an Industrial Renaissance Development Company to better steer strategic investment. 1 To oversee this coordinated effort, the backbenchers recommend appointing Louise Haigh as Chief Secretary, with her role based directly at No 10 North in Manchester. 1
The push for a more localized approach was emphasized by MP Andy MacNae, who argued that industrial policy must focus on "the places that need jobs the most." 1 This legislative pressure coincides with recent government moves, including the decision to nationalize British Steel, while Labour conference delegates had previously heard John Healey pledge a "new era of industrialisation." 1
