The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether any jobs were lost and, if so, how many as a result of the transfer of Sea-cats operations from Stranraer to Troon; whether job losses are projected as a consequence of the further relocation from Troon to Belfast in 2001, and if so, how many, and what steps are being taken to prevent the loss of any jobs to Northern Ireland.
The answer
I understand that there were no overall job losses associated with the relocation of Seacat's operating base from Stranraer to Troon in July this year. Similarly, none are planned as part of the relocation of the company's operational base to Belfast. The relocation to Belfast is a commercial decision by Seacat.
