Commenting on reports that the UK Government is set to close one of two
shipyards operated by BVT on the Cycle after aircraft carrier work ends in 2014, Leader of the Scottish Liberal Democrats Tavish Scott MSP said:

“Labour must immediately end the uncertainty surrounding the future of naval shipyards on the Clyde. They can not leave hard working men and woman high and dry without knowing their future.

“The Government must make an urgent statement on this potentially
devastating news for Scotland.”
