Question to the Scotland Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what steps his Department is taking to support workers at the Dawnfresh site in Uddingston who are waiting to receive support from the Redundancy Payment Scheme.
My office engages regularly with other Government Departments at official and Ministerial level.
Jobcentre Plus, working with Skills Development Scotland’s ‘Partnership Action for Continuing Employment’, has deployed their Rapid Response Service to the Dawnfresh site at Uddingston. This is to give access to Jobcentre Plus’ services to those affected, ensuring full support, by both of Scotland’s Governments, is available to all those affected.
