THERESA MAY faced a grilling over her government’s failure to support a historic Glasgow railway works at her final Prime Minister’s Questions today.

Glasgow North East MP Paul Sweeney raised the plight of the St Rollox works in Springburn, known as the Caley, which is set to close tomorrow after it completes its final lot of work.

 

We firmly believe that the future of the Caley can be secured with the necessary political will. #rallyroonthecaley
