City Region Deals: Scotland

Asked by Chris KaneLabourScotland OfficeTabled Answered 14 October 2024UIN 8331

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what recent discussions he has had with the Scottish Government on the progress of City Deals projects in Scotland.

Answered by Ian Murray

Since coming into office, I have had several meetings with the Scottish Government, including the Deputy First Minister. Economic growth is the key mission of this Government and one that I am absolutely committed to delivering in partnership with the Scottish Government. City Region and Growth Deals are a fundamental part of this mission.

Since coming into office, the UK Government and Scottish Government have jointly agreed the £100 million Falkirk and Grangemouth Growth Deal.
