===Lack of Scottish members===
It is interesting that though much of the remaining UK aluminium industry is based in Scotland there are only two members of the APPG representing Scottish constituencies (Alan Beith and Brian Donohoe, and not those where the industry is based (a primary smelter and associated hydro-scheme operates in Lochaber, Fort William).
