UK Decarbonisation and Carbon Capture and Storage

Written Question
Hewden
Thursday 8th December 2016

Asked by: Philip Boswell (Scottish National Party - Coatbridge, Chryston and Bellshill)

Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what representations he has received on the reasons for the recent collapse of Hewden; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Jesse Norman - Shadow Leader of the House of Commons

We have received no representations on the reasons for Hewden entering administration.

But we recognise this is a very uncertain time for Hewden employees and their families; and it is positive that some business units have been sold and jobs secured. The Department for Work and Pensions are in contact with the administrators, the redundancy factsheet has been issued to all those affected and Job Centre Plus will help those affected move into new jobs as quickly as possible.
