I join the hon. Member for Dundee Central (Chris Law), who is no longer in his place, in welcoming today’s announcement from Alexander Dennis, which covers my constituency and the constituency of my hon. Friend the Member for Alloa and Grangemouth (Brian Leishman). I have campaigned on this issue since the day I was elected to this place, and will continue doing so on behalf of the sector and the bus manufacturing workers, who will be sighing with relief today. There has been a lot of discussion in the press about who is responsible and who gets the credit. The workforce get the credit for their resilience during what has been possibly one of the bleakest times we have seen for the bus manufacturing industry in Falkirk. Also, trade unions get the credit. Their persistence and constructive work throughout the negotiations are the reason we have come to a positive resolution today.
