Extract from close
of business adjournment debate on McVitie’s Tollcross
Factory
(Paisley and Renfrewshire North) (SNP): I
am grateful to the Minister for giving way; I had not given him an
indication that I would intervene. May I ask what the Government
have done thus far? I take him at his word on his sincerity on the
issue, but when I secured a debate on the hundreds of jobs that
were going to go at Rolls-Royce at Inchinnan, the
then Minister—the hon. Member for Stratford-on-Avon ()—essentially said that the workers should be grateful
that they had been offered voluntary redundancy. Can the present
Minister tell us, and particularly my hon. Friend the Member for
Glasgow East () and the
workers at Tollcross, what the Government are actually doing about
it?
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business,
Energy and Industrial Strategy ():
Yes, I will outline a few of the issues that my
colleagues at the Department for Work and Pensions will be standing
up as a result. I do recognise that this is a worrying time for
those Pladis employees. We will do all we can to support each of
the workers affected, including through the Department for Work and
Pensions, Jobcentre Plus and the support that they can access
through Partnership Action for Continuing Employment in Scotland.
People will also be able to access redundancy help and job search
advice through the Department for Work and Pensions’
jobhelp.campaign.gov.uk website.
Extract from
Westminster Hall debate on the Welsh Rural Economy
(Ynys Môn) (Con) [V]:...We are working hard to
bring new opportunities here. In his March Budget speech, the
Chancellor announced £4.8 million of funding for the new Holyhead
hydrogen hub. The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial
Strategy will be on the island next week to meet M-SParc and the
Minister for Science to discuss bringing the cutting-edge
thermo-hydraulic facility here. I am also in talks with
Rolls-Royce about bringing SMRs
to the island as well as continuing discussions about potential
developers for Wylfa Newydd...
