Western Isles SNP MSP, Alasdair Allan, will accompany Finance Secretary John Swinney today (Thursday) in Uist.
Both will be taking part in a meeting of the Task Force set up after the announcement by the MoD of large-scale job losses in the Uists and to visit many of the sites affected.
Dr Allan commented: "It's great to see that John Swinney, Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth, is so willing to engage with the community over this important issue and that he has made space in his diary to personally visit the communities and sites affected as soon as possible after the MOD announcement.
"John clearly understands the compelling case against these job cuts and the massive effect they would have on the Uist community. I hope that today will see a further very productive meeting of the Task Force."
