Question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will provide details of any discussions it has had with the taskforce established to secure a buyer for the Kvaerner Govan Shipyard and of any future meetings that are scheduled to take place with the taskforce.
Answer
Prior to 1 July the work of the Kvaerner Task Force was the responsibility of Scottish Office Ministers.
In recent weeks my colleagues met the Task Force to discuss its role in helping secure a successful outcome to Kvaerner's efforts to find a buyer for the Govan shipyard.As the Task Force's work has now been completed, there will be no further formal meetings, but individual members will be consulted as necessary on matters affecting the future of Kvaerner's Clydebank engineering works and Greenock engine works.
