Scottish Government
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, when he last met with the Scottish Government; and what issues were discussed at this meeting.
Answered by Ian Murray
I have had a number of discussions with Scottish Government Ministers since my appointment, as have many of my Ministerial colleagues, including the Prime Minister.
My most recent meeting was with the Deputy First Minister, on Tuesday 1 October, who I am meeting regularly. We have discussed a range of issues such as our joint plan to secure the industrial future of the Grangemouth site, following confirmation of Petroineos’ decision to close the oil refinery next year.
This Government is committed to working with the Scottish Government. By working collaboratively together, we will deliver the change that the people of Scotland expect.
