Question to the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero:

To ask the Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero, if she will include Syngenta workers being made redundant prior to the site closing in December 2027 in the Grangemouth Workers Guarantee.

Syngenta has stated that no final decision has been made but it has begun a formal consultation process with employees and trade union representatives and has indicated it remains committed to considering alternative options and potential pathways forward.

We are working closely with Syngenta, the Scottish Government and other partners to secure the best possible outcome for the site and its workforce. We will continue to engage constructively with the company throughout the consultation, including exploring opportunities to retain, transfer or repurpose operations or assets and protect as many jobs as possible.

The UK government are considering the implications of recent announcements and will continue to work with partners to ensure affected workers are supported.
