MSPs voted last night on whether to condemn the Scottish government’s failure to support green energy and jobs.

Debates in Holyrood yesterday focused on the future of Burntisland Fabrications (BiFab), which operates plants in Fife and the Isle of Lewis, as well as small businesses across Scotland that have been let down during the coronavirus crisis. 

A motion put forward by Scottish Labour’s Alex Rowley states that “Scotland has the potential to lead Europe’s green energy revolution over the coming decades,”  claiming green jobs will be “central to creating new employment and training opportunities across Scotland.”
