The Scottish government has set up a taskforce, including representatives of the Hall’s of Broxburn site, union officials, politicians and members of the meat sector to look at the future of the plant.

“I’m not confirming or denying anything,” a spokesperson for the Scottish government told just-food, citing reasons of “confidentiality”.
