Government will not offer bailout to UK's largest bioethanol plant

Owners Vivergo, a subsidiary of Associated British Foods, had warned that the plant would close without government support, and sources at the company have told Sky News the wind-down process is now likely to begin.

An ABF spokesperson, which also owns Primark, said the government's decision was "deeply regrettable" and it had "chosen not to support a key national asset".



Seems to be a "key national asset" in the sense that Ed Miliband is a key national asset.


Government sources said they had employed external consultants to provide advice, and pointed out that the plant had not been profitable since 2011.
