*S1M-1315# Christine Grahame: Burton's Biscuits—That the Parliament notes with concern the purchase of Burton’s Biscuits by Hicks Muse Tait & Furst for £130 million given the track record of this investment company in Scotland as the financial backer of Viasystems which purchased two profitable companies in the Scottish Borders after securing funding of £12 million from the Department for Trade and Industry on the basis of creating 1,000 jobs there, then closed the companies down one year later with the loss of 1,200 jobs, transferring work from there to North Tyneside; also notes that Hicks Muse Tait & Furst is the financial backer of Horizon Biscuits, a competitor of Burton’s; further notes that there are 1,000 employees of Burton’s in Edinburgh and, against that background, urges the Scottish Executive to seek assurances from Hicks Muse Tait & Furst that those Scottish jobs are secure and to confirm that no public funds are or will be available to that company which could facilitate any loss of Scottish jobs.
