That's all from me, stay with us on BBC1, it's time | :00:00. | :00:13. | |
Good evening. Around 400 jobs could be saved at the troubled Murco Oil | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
Refinery in Milford Haven after a breakthrough in negotiations. It's | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
been confirmed today that the sale of the plant has been agreed in | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
principle. The buyer for the site, which faces closure, is understood | :00:29. | :00:31. | |
to be the oil entrepreneur Gary Klesch. Carwyn Jones reports. It's | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
been a major employer in Pembrokeshire for more than 40 | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
years, but the recent fortunes of the Murco Oil refinery in Milford | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
Haven have cast serious doubt over its long term future. The plant has | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
been operating at a loss, leading owners Murphy Oil to find a buyer | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
for the site. A potential ?300 million deal broke down in April. | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
But today, news of a breakthrough, as the sale of the site has now been | :01:00. | :01:08. | |
agreed in principle. The is still some significant work to be done in | :01:09. | :01:13. | |
the next few weeks but it would really positive yesterday they were | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
able to reach an agreement in principle for the sale to go | :01:17. | :01:21. | |
forward. We know that deals like this can fall through at a late | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
stage but having spoken to the buyer and the owner of the refinery | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
yesterday, I am optimistic a sale can be completed. The buyer is | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
thought to be Gary Klesch, head of a global industrial business, | :01:37. | :01:38. | |
specialising in the production and trading of oil. It will take on a | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Murco Refinery that has the potential to produce 135,000 barrels | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
a day, but which is currently having to recycle oil products just to keep | :01:46. | :01:52. | |
it operational. This is extremely encouraging news. The group that is | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
now being mentioned in the context of the purchase by a refinery from | :01:58. | :02:06. | |
Shell in hamburg in 2010. They know the refinery business and how | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
difficult it is to make money in it. A final agreement on the sale of the | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Murco plant has yet to be confirmed, but there's renewed optimism in | :02:16. | :02:18. | |
Milford Haven this evening for the future of this Refinery and for the | :02:19. | :02:22. | |

The Neath MP is one of three former cabinet ministers who have revealed | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
how the Prince tried to influence government policies. A spokeswoman | :03:04. | :03:18. | |

in whatever way he can, but declined to comment on private conversations. | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
He was frustrated by his inability to persuade any health ministers any | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
queer that it was a good idea. He find me unique in this point of view | :03:33. | :03:41. | |

to influence ministers we want to know about it and to see the | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
documentation. My own personal view is that the monarchy should keep | :03:52. | :04:02. | |
