The Scottish Government should use the £700m income from leasing sections of Scotland’s seabed to improve supply chains and support the move to net zero, a Holyrood committee has said.
In a report on recent supply chain issues, the Economy and Fair Work Committee found both Brexit and Covid-19 had put “significant strains” on the movement of goods.
The committee said the proceeds of a project allowing companies to build wind farms off the coast of Scotland should be used to bolster supply chains against future shocks, which could also include impacts of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
