- By ANDREW SPENCE

KARL Turner has called for urgent Government action to save the UK's bioethanol industry as a Saltend plant faces closure.

The Labour MP for Hull East has warned of potential job losses in a strongly worded op-ed in which he called on his own party's Government to “urgently intervene” to prevent “mass redundancies in an already deprived area.”
