Mr. David Watkins
asked the Secretary of State for Industry what closures of plant making ball and roller bearings have taken place in the last three years.
Mr. MacGregor
I am aware of the complete closure of four plants manufacturing ball and roller bearings in the last three years. In addition, production of bearings has ceased at a fifth plant, although in that case a small manufacturing unit has been retained on the site.
