• Unions at Scammell in Watford are remaining tightlipped about the threatened closure of the plant while they await details of a proposed management buyout.
Convenor Peter Sweeting says he does not expect to hear any proposals for a management buyout from Scammell management until the details of the Leyland Daf merger are finalised.
"It is not until mid 1988 that we are due to close," says Sweeting, "so we have plenty of time to sort ourselves out."
A petition is being organised in Watford in an attempt to save the Scammell plant. The petition calls on the House of Commons to ensure the survival of Scammell Motors which currently has 650 employees.
