Condemns Sale of Greenock Navy Building
The motion
That the Parliament condemns the news reported in The Herald on 27 September 2009 that the Ministry of Defence has decided to close and sell off the Navy Buildings at Greenock by March 2011, which is a base for the marines, the amphibious police and the coastguard, requiring all personnel to relocate; notes that this announcement follows the recent decision of the UK Government to sell off the Custom House Buildings at Customhouse Quay with an attendant loss of jobs, and calls on the UK Government to retain much needed jobs in Greenock.
