Evening Times reported that Scottish Government ministers have agreed a GBP 195,000 support package to retain key staff at the mothballed Dalzell and Clydebridge steel plants in the hope production could begin again this year.
As per report, an undisclosed number of staff will be paid approximately 60 per cent of their gross salaries and receive advanced training to ensure the plants could reopen quickly if production resumed.
Mr Fergus Ewing Business Minister said "It is critical for any new commercial operator intending on restarting production at Dalzell and Clydebridge to be able to get the mothballed plants quickly up and running again after a period of inactivity. So we have agreed to work with the existing management and trade unions to retain and develop the nucleus of a manufacturing team; that will be attractive to prospective buyers, who seek the knowledge and insight to maximise the productive capability of the sites.¡±
The programme will focus on delivering ¡°learning and development¡± to those staff with key skills and attributes, which would be required to re-establish manufacturing.
The Scottish Government described its move as a positive development in the quest to secure a future for Scottish steel.
