§ Shona McIsaacTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on the job losses at Hydro Agri in Immingham. [113840]
§ Mr. Caborn[holding answer 10 March 2000]: I was aware that Hydro Agri's plant at Immingham was under review. I am naturally disappointed about the job losses which will result from the closure of the production side of the plant.
It would be inappropriate for me to comment any further as this is a commercial decision, but the Government Office for Yorkshire and the Humber stands ready to work with Yorkshire Forward and other relevant agencies to help with re-training and identifying new job opportunities if required.
