INEOS Chemicals: Grangemouth

Debate between Chris Murray and Judith Cummins

Wednesday 17th December 2025 Commons Chamber

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Judith Cummins)]

Order. Members know that I want to get everybody in, but I am aiming to finish the statement at around 5.30 pm, so please help each other by asking short questions and giving short answers.

[Chris Murray (Edinburgh East and Musselburgh) (Lab)]

I strongly welcome today’s announcement, which is important not only for workers in Grangemouth but for the wider Scottish economy. Whether it is today’s announcement about Grangemouth, protecting shipbuilding on the Clyde or the supercomputer in Edinburgh, the Labour Government are standing up for workers and for Scotland’s strategic industries. Does the Minister agree that whereas Labour stands up for manufacturing, the SNP can only manufacture grievance?
