Murco: Edwina Hart to appoint new taskforce head

Finding new jobs for workers hit by the closure of a Pembrokeshire oil refinery is the priority, says a task force set up to respond to the blow.

All but 60 of the 400 jobs at Murco in Milford Haven will go after a deal to sell the plant collapsed last week.

Economy Minister Edwina Hart is also due to appoint a new chair of the task force, to take over from Lord Nick Bourne. The body was meeting in Cardiff on Tuesday to begin the search for new jobs and industry for the county.
