Rennie responds to Dalzell news
23 Jun 2024
Responding to the news that Liberty Steel has suspended offers for plates from its Dalzell mill in Scotland, Scottish Liberal Democrat Willie Rennie MSP said:
“Just as we seek to roll out a massive expansion of renewables, this important steel plant is teetering on the edge.
“I have been warning about Liberty Steel for years but the Scottish Government have ignored those warnings. That is despite their role in the sale of the plant to Liberty Steel.
"The company have not published accounts for four years and have failed to pay the government loan back.
“We need an urgent response from the Government before it is too late.”
