Commenting on reports that 70 posts within Lloyds TSB are at risk in Newport, South Wales East AM William Graham said:
“This is devastating news for those involved, along with their families.
“The Assembly Government needs to work with Lloyds TSB and make sure that any available support is given to those affected by the announcement.
South Wales East AM Mohammad Asghar said: “Labour-Plaid Ministers urgently need to consider what assistance they will be giving those hit by this news, as they either look for new positions or choose to re-skill.
“While our economy is facing challenging times, it should be WAG’s priority to create a much a clearer strategy for economic growth in Wales.”
