Job Losses in Campbeltown

Lodged by George Lyon Members' Business Motion 9 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament deeply regrets the closure of the Jaeger Factory in Campbeltown; notes that the loss of 200 jobs is a devastating blow to the Kintyre economy, and believes that the Scottish Executive should provide backing and support to allow local agencies to develop a rescue package for the area which recognises that the loss of the town’s largest employer is a further, serious blow to a town already affected by the downturn in traditional rural industries.
