Like many Members of this House, I am saddened to learn of Exxon’s plans to close its Fife ethylene plant. This decision is, of course, extremely worrying news for those employed by Exxon, as well as for contractors who work at the plant, those employed by the companies which supply the site with gas, and those at the adjacent natural gas liquids plant operated by Shell. While this is no solace to those impacted at Exxon, Shell has confirmed that it does not see its workforce or operations being affected by this closure.
