HC Deb 26 November 1996 vol 286 cc194-5W
27. Mr. Donohoe

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what effect the closure of Robert Wilsons Canning Co. plant at Kilwinning has had on the supply of the company's products to the armed forces. [4337]

Mr. Arbuthnot

The closure of the Wilsons plant at Kilwinning is not expected to affect adversely the supply of food to the armed forces.

The company currently has three contracts, two of which will be fulfilled before the Kilwinning plant closes, whilst the third will be undertaken by HL Foods, a sister company within the Hillsdown HL Group.
