Following a statement today that Murco's Milford Haven refinery will be put up for sale, Paul Davies AM has expressed concerns over the matter.

Local Assembly Member, Mr Davies said "I am concerned about today's statement regarding the Murco refinery at Milford Haven. Murco is a significant employer in Pembrokeshire and the refinery is of huge importance to the local economy.

However, I do acknowledge the commitment from Murphy Oil, the owners of Murco that the refinery will remain open during the proposed sale process.

"I appreciate that the oil industry is facing difficult times. However, this news is of great concern to the people of Pembrokeshire. I will be seeking an urgent meeting with managers at Murco to find out more details regarding this news."
