The motion

That the Parliament welcomes the establishment of the Shared Prosperity Fund Argyll Programme, following the news that £280,000 was awarded to Highlands and Islands Enterprise from the Argyll and Bute Council’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund allocation; understands that the funding will be used to support innovation projects, with a focus on productivity improvements, low-carbon goods and environmental services, and climate resilience; acknowledges what it sees as the UK Government’s continued focus on supporting business and enterprise across Argyll and Bute, and that it follows on from other major financial investments in Argyll and Bute, including the £70 million Rural Growth Deal, and recognises what it sees as the importance of the UK Government directly investing in communities across Scotland, as well as working with the Scottish Government and its agencies to support growing and emerging industries.
