Lodged by Sharon Dowey Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament notes with concern that details of the Scottish Government’s plan for green ports have not yet been published; understands that businesses require details on how these ports will operate in order to plan ahead; further understands that the UK Government had planned two freeports in Scotland, but these plans no longer remain in place after a breakdown in negotiations; acknowledges reports that unless the Scottish Government provides a timely update on green ports then construction delays will continue, and believes that without this update, Scotland’s impact in attracting global investment will not be as strong.
