HC Deb 18 March 1996 vol 274 c61W
Mr. Canavan

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will intervene to stop the threatened job losses at Exel Logistics in Falkirk. [21154]

Mr. Kynoch

I understand that this company, which offers transport services to industry and the retail trade from 14 depots in the UK, intends to rationalise its entire UK operations. This is a matter for the commercial judgment of management in the company. The company's announcement to its work force was accompanied by the offer of counselling and of a transfer to the company's headquarters. Forth Valley Enterprise will offer to all affected by the announcement its range of retraining and counselling services.
