Citizen Participation and Public Petitions Committee 11 September 2024

Item of business
Continued Petitions
Clydeport (Public Ownership) (PE2029)
Torrance, David SNP Kirkcaldy Watch on SPTV
Considering that the petition has a specific ask and that the Government’s response is that it is definitely not going to do it, I do not think that the committee can take the petition any further. I ask the committee to close the petition under rule 15.7 of standing orders, on the basis that Scottish ports operate in a commercial environment; that the Scottish Government does not believe that it would be appropriate to nationalise Clydeport and nor does it have any plans to do so; and that the use of compulsory purchase powers requires a clear development plan for the site.
