Refineries: Grangemouth

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Scotland, what assessment he has made of the expected breakdown of the £14.5 million allocated to Grangemouth, including funding for site remediation, feasibility work, infrastructure upgrades, skills programmes, and any other defined purposes.

Answered by Kirsty McNeill

The UK and Scottish Governments are working together to assess and progress all investment at Grangemouth. To support this, at Autumn Budget 2025 the Chancellor announced up to £14.5 million of UKG funding for Grangemouth to support future projects.

At this moment in time, we cannot provide further information on allocation of this funding due to commercial sensitivities. Funding for projects will only be dispensed after thorough due diligence and Accounting Officer checks have been completed by the UK Government, but the UK Government remains committed to delivering a successful low-carbon future for Grangemouth.
