Teesside Cast Products

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what discussions they have had with trade unions representing workers at Teesside Cast Products about the decision to curtail production at the Teesside plant in January.
Answer

My Lords, I have spoken to representatives of the unions, community and Unite about the very regrettable situation at Teesside, as well as to local government representatives and Redcar’s Member of Parliament. Earlier this week, I announced, with the regional development agency One North East, a £60 million programme of support that will help to create jobs and promote enterprise and innovation and contribute powerfully to the region’s and to Teesside's industrial future.
