Malcolm Bruce calls for the Scottish Executive and the Government in Westminster to work together to solve the disruption in oil supply as a result of an industrial dispute at Grangemouth

As Aberdeen's oil and gas sector feels the impact of the Grangemouth strikes following the closure of the Forties oil pipeline, local MP Malcolm Bruce said:

"The scale of the disruption and the emerging local challenges resulting from the Grangemouth industrial dispute demonstrates just how interdependent we are in Britain.

"While the Scottish Executive clearly has a role to play, it is the Government who is responsible for securing supply and this is a classic case where there needs to be a constructive working relationship between the Scottish Executive and the Government in Westminster in order to meet people's needs."

    If you are a resident of the Gordon constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
