Mr. Adamsasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he has any plans to meet with the management of Armitage Shanks Ltd., Barrhead to discuss possible job losses.
§ Mr. Allan StewartI visited Armitage Shanks at Barrhead in September of last year, and I keep in close contact with the management of the factory which is in my constituency. I understand that the transfer of nine jobs to Armitage in Staffordshire is not expected to cause any redundancies at Barrhead.
