Responding to the Prime Minister’s criticism of the Scottish Government’s lack of action to support Scotland’s steel industry, Community Assistant General Secretary Alasdair McDiarmid said:
“We welcome the Prime Minister’s intervention and his call on the Scottish Government to take action to secure the long-term future of Dalzell plate mill. This is a site of huge strategic importance and potential, and should be at the heart of an industrial strategy for Scotland.
“As we highlighted in our recent Steel Reforged report, with the right investment and upgrades, Dalzell could help meet the burgeoning steel plate demands of the offshore wind industry and the UK defence sector. It is unacceptable that Dalzell remains idle, and the SNP government in Holyrood cannot continue to sit on their hands and do nothing.”
