HC Deb 11 February 1986 vol 91 c413W
Mr. Geraint Howells

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what representations he has received about the employment implications of the closure of the Dairy Crest depot, Johnstown in Carmarthen; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

I have received a number of representations from individuals and organisations about the closure of the Dairy Crest plant in Johnstown. However, the closure of the plant, while regrettable, is a matter for the commercial judgment of Dairy Crest as part of a rationalisation programme to improve the productive and competitive performance of its cheese-making capacity.
