No, but what does point to a reduction in UK manufacturing is a reduction in the number of factories and workshops and that...
<bangs head against wall> Your perception is false. Rose by .2% in the last quarter, is predicted to fall by .5% in the next, but with an overall growth of 1.5% for the year. Despite the fact that as you may have heard, there's a recession on.
If your complaint is that we're not outproducing China, then that's inevitable- but don't pretend our manufacturing sector is in decline. The world's largest countries produce more than us, shock horror.

Its ok quoting numbers all day but just how much of that 7th largest manufacturingis actually made within our waters?
100% of it. That's why it's called UK manufacturing.
