Industrial Action (Grangemouth)

I welcome the Secretary of State's assurances about supplies, which I hope will be noted. As for what was said by the hon. Member for Dumfries and Galloway (Mr. Brown), is it not up to forecourt owners and managers to act responsibly and inform their customers that they can secure future supplies and manage them sensibly? I am, however, concerned about the implications of the dispute for the security and continuity of production in the North sea. Many of us have thousands of constituents who work in the North sea, and who must fear that a dispute downstream could threaten their livelihoods and their long-term future in upstream activity. Can the Secretary of State assure us that he will investigate thoroughly the integrity of the system downstream and upstream, to ensure that no dispute of this kind can cause serious long-term damage to production capacity and delivery in the North sea and the future employment of people whose livelihoods depend on it?
