OPPOSITION TO THE CLOSURE OF THE CALEDONIA MILLS,LEITH

That this House opposes the closure of Rank Hovis's Caledonia Mills, Leith; recognises that many jobs will be lost to the local community, as well as affecting suppliers and sub-contractors; notes that management say the main reason for their decision is an alleged surplus of flour; yet realises that many people in Britain are under-nourished and millions starve throughout the world because they are denied basic foods; and calls on the next Labour government to bring United Kingdom food monopolies into public ownership under the democratic control of employees and consumers.
