Review of Bishopton's fate
1999
Overview
Defence Procurement Minister Lord Gilbert told MPs he was willing to meet Royal Ordnance officials to discuss the fate of the factory, which makes propellant for artillery and tank shells. Lord Gilbert conceded that the Government would be \"in a more relaxed position\" in Scotland if Bishopton had won the contract, as MPs urged him to reveal more details about the MoD decision-making that allowed the supply of a strategically important material to be handed over to an African country 8000 miles away. Labour MP Bruce George, chairman of the all-party House of Commons Defence Select Committee, appealed to Lord Gilbert to discuss with Royal Ordnance and British Aerospace whether the plant could be kept open and viable, even with a reduced workforce, ahead of its planned closure later this year.
