Perhaps in the first instance, the Labour party would like to publish its own internal report relating to the events in Falkirk and then we will see where we go from there.

The Government welcomed the announcement from INEOS on 25 October that the Grangemouth petrochemical plant will remain open. The events at Grangemouth have demonstrated the importance of management and the workforce coming together to agree an approach that will ensure the long-term future of the plant, including major new investment and a three year no strike agreement. The Government continues to work with INEOS to secure the future of the plant, following the positive news that INEOS has achieved pre-qualification status on a loan guarantee under the UK Guarantee Scheme.
The Government will continue to work with the chemicals sector to maximise growth opportunities and address challenges. The chemicals industry is the UK’s leading manufacturing exporter and underpins the UK’s manufacturing base.
In recognition of this, Government and Industry have formed the Chemistry Growth Partnership (CGP), a sector council for the chemicals industry co-chaired by Michael Fallon, Minister of State for Business and Energy, and Neil Carson, Chief Executive of Johnson Matthey. The partnership launched its sector growth strategy at its inaugural meeting on 22 October, which was attended by Vince Cable, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, and by Michael Fallon.
This strategy sets out a trajectory for Gross Value Added in the chemicals sector to increase by more than 50 per cent by 2030 (from £195bn to £300bn). To fulfil this potential and encourage further private sector investment, the Government will work with the Partnership on a long term basis to address priority issues identified by industry, namely, securing competitive energy and feedstocks, accelerating innovation and rebuilding UK Chemistry Supply Chains.
I am sure we all wish to associate ourselves with the Prime Minister’s fitting tribute.
Hard-working businessmen facing tough decisions, decent trade unionists and newspapers including the Daily Mirror will have been appalled by the so-called leverage tactics of Unite in the Grangemouth dispute. Will my right hon. Friend take steps to ensure that families, children and homes are protected from a minority of militants?

My hon. Friend makes an important point. This sort of industrial intimidation is completely unacceptable. We have seen “Wanted” posters put through children’s letterboxes, we have seen families intimidated and we have seen people’s neighbours being told that
they are evil. What has happened is shocking. It is also shocking that the Labour party is refusing to hold a review and to stand up to Len McCluskey. At this late stage, it should do so.

Despite the serious news about Grangemouth, the sector as a whole remains optimistic about, in particular, the potential for future growth.
