“What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help support energy-intensive industries.”
Answering Minister
the Secretary of State for Business and Trade
Answer from Hansard
The Chief Secretary to the Treasury (Darren Jones)
I join my hon. Friend in welcoming the official opening of the Charles Hammond berth. As she knows, we set up Great British Energy in Scotland, bringing forward £300 million of investment ahead of the spending review to secure jobs and supply chains. Funding for the Port of Cromarty Firth, announced in March, is expected to support up to 1,000 highly skilled jobs, while our uplift to the clean energy bonus will support offshore wind supply chains across the country. That is yet another example of the Government working with business and of a Labour Government delivering for the people of Scotland.
