The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the award of more than £170,000 of UK Government Levelling Up funding, to create an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Innovation logistics hub at Oban Airport; understands that the funding for the hub, and a drone-flying training academy, builds on the Argyll and Bute Rural Growth Deal proposal, which includes plans for a vertiport take-off and landing facility at the airport; further understands that the award will help develop the business case for both the hub and academy facilities; believes that this initiative will make a significant contribution to the economy of Argyll and Bute, and congratulates all the partners, including Argyll and Bute Council, Skyports and the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS), for their work in delivering what it sees as this exciting and innovative project.
