MoD contract boost for factories
Scottish factories will play a major role in a £6.6m Ministry of Defence (MoD) contract to provide protective equipment for British troops. Remploy sites in Dundee, Cowdenbeath, Stirling and Clydebank will help produce 44,000 suits to guard against nuclear, biological or chemical attack. The suits are designed to seal around a respirator and come in woodland and desert material.
