Business question from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 February 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
May we have a debate about current trends in the Scottish economy, so that we can discuss the complacent and arrogant attitude of the Chancellor and the Secretary of State for Defence? Last week 720 jobs were lost at Lexmark in west Fife, following the loss of 1,600 jobs at Rosyth dockyard, in the same constituency. As if that were not bad enough, 7,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost in Fife alone. Given that appalling record, it is any surprise that people are turning away from Labour in droves, forgoing their complicit Scottish Executive buddies in the Liberal party and turning to the Scottish National party?
