To ask the Scottish Government how it will support wool producers that use the services and skills currently available at New Lanark Mill, in light of reports of proposals to close the mill.
I would advise wool producers to engage with the British Wool Marketing Board, which is a public, non-financial corporation established by the British Wool Marketing Scheme (Approval) Order 1950. As the organisation can collect, grade and sell wool from across the UK on behalf of producer members, it may be able to advise on alternative services.
