Topical Questions

Question
As nationalisation is the flavour of the month, has the Secretary of State considered taking Dairy Farmers of Britain's dairies at Bridgend and Blaydon into temporary public ownership?
Answer

No, we have not. However, as I told the House last week, we indicated to the receiver that we and One NorthEast would be prepared to offer financial support to keep the Blaydon dairy open while an effort was made to find a management buy-out. Unfortunately, it was not possible to achieve that and, for that reason, the dairy closed.
