STAFF at the Torry research station in Aberdeen, which was closed by the government last week, have won a partial reprieve. Half of Torry’s 54 researchers are to move to food research laboratories elsewhere in Aberdeen. The rest are destined for government laboratories in York.
Norval Strachan, a trade union spokesman at Torry, says that the closure will split up a top-class team of microbiologists. “There is no logic in pushing any jobs down south,” he says.
