Regional Economy (Tackling the Recession)

We are all listening as we have a keen sense of outcome; we want a positive outcome. We understand what the Minister is saying, but we want a concerned and absolute statement from the Government that says that we have a source of employment that, whatever else, will be protected and will survive. We know about market prices, but we also know about cruel mass unemployment, and we simply do not want that on the Tees again.
