Closure Of Ravenscraig Hot Strip Mill
EDM number 1006 in 1989-90, proposed by John Reid on 16/05/1990.
That this House deplores the decision by British Steel to close the hot strip mill at Ravenscraig with major job losses; recognises that the hot strip mill and a major new investment programme for Ravenscraig, Clydesdale and Dalzell is essential to ensure a viable future for the Scottish steel industry; calls upon British Steel to reverse its catastrophic decision; and urges all Scottish honourable Members to unite in opposing British Steel's decision and in demanding that British Steel maintains all its existing plant in Scotland and embarks upon a major new investment programme aimed at equipping Scotland's steel industry for the demands of the 21st century.
This motion has been signed by a total of 86 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
