Michael Shanks
Throughout the seven months that we have been in government, we have been doing everything we can to work with the operators of the Grangemouth refinery. Of course we were disappointed by its closure. We have carried out a number of pieces of work on fuel security. We are not concerned about that at this point, but, across the whole country, we keep constantly it under review.
Claire Young (Thornbury and Yate) (LD)

What steps will the Government take to ensure that the area around the River Severn will get the investment that it needs to realise its potential?
