Portfolio Question Time
Aviation Fuel Supply
This issue underlines how precarious Scotland’s position on jet fuel supplies has become. Before its closure, Grangemouth refined jet fuel for the whole of Scotland, which gave us a measure of energy security. The betrayal of the workforce at Grangemouth and the false promises that were once made to them by Anas Sarwar have helped to put paid to that. Does the minister agree with Unite the Union, which has accused the UK Labour Government of “industrial vandalism” in allowing the Grangemouth refinery to close, when Scotland could have been producing its own green aviation fuel?
