MPs to debate Diageo closure

Jul 9 2009

Drinks giant Diageo's plan to close its Johnnie Walker bottling plant is to be debated in the House of Commons, an MP has confirmed.

Last week the firm said it may shut the Kilmarnock factory and the Port Dundas grain distillery in Glasgow, which could see a total of 900 workers lose their jobs.

The Kilmarnock plant closure alone may see 700 jobs lost.
