From my previous posts, you will have seen I was delighted to sponsor the Music Venues Trust event in the Scottish Parliament earlier in the week. You may also have seen my contributions at Stephen Kerr MSP’s Members’ Business Debate on Grangemouth Refinery, and my Portfolio Question regarding Scotland’s green economy. I will continue to raise the ongoing situation at PetroIneos in the Scottish Parliament wherever possible while the matter progresses.
On Monday afternoon I attended the Institute of Director’s Central Scotland branch roundtable discussion. It was an interesting meeting covering trading conditions, economic recovery, and what collectively Parliament, Government and businesses might do to assist.
In my role as Convenor of the Cross-Party Group on St Andrew’s Day, I held the first CPG meeting of the group in 2024, and the first following our St Andrew’s Day Celebration event in the Scottish Parliament in November 2023. I look forward to continuing the work of the CPG throughout the year ahead and our involvement in the next celebration event.
