Clouser of a seafood factory will cause an ‘economic tsunami,’ Scottish secretary warned
Scottish Secretary David Mundell

SCOTTISH Secretary David Mundell met with bosses and union reps at a threatened seafood factory today as campaigners warned that closure would unleash an “economic tsunami” on the surrounding community.

Pinneys of Scotland produces smoked salmon, shellfish, party snacks and ready meals for Marks and Spencer. But its owner Young’s wants to move production to Grimsby.

The plant is located in the Dumfriesshire town of Annan, which is within Mr Mundell’s constituency.
