First Minister’s Question Time
Rokbak (Closure)
Griffin, Mark Lab Central Scotland Watch on SPTV

Volvo Construction Equipment has announced that it plans to close its Rokbak business in the Uddingston and Bellshill constituency, with the devastating loss of 120 highly skilled jobs. The GMB trade union has written to ministers on behalf of the workforce, rightly stating that the loss of the Rokbak line would be a major blow not only to the workers directly affected but to confidence in the long-term future of advanced manufacturing at the site and in Scotland more broadly.

Will the First Minister say what discussions the Government has had with the company and the workforce to explore whatever options there might be to save those jobs and the future of advanced manufacturing at the site?
