Save Our Steel
The motion
That the Parliament notes with great concern the announcement of job losses at the Dalzell and Clydebridge steel plants and the detrimental impact that this would have on the workforce, their families, their communities and the local economies; considers that any curtailment or closure of the plants will have a significant and long-term negative impact on the Scottish economy; welcomes the creation of the Scottish Steel Task Force, and notes the view that all avenues should be explored to prevent the closure of the plants, including UK and Scottish government intervention to protect jobs and ensure the long-term viability of the Scottish steel industry.
