Grangemouth

The UK government's energy minister has said there will be "announcements soon" on the future of Grangemouth.

However the Scottish Conservatives have criticised Labour's approach to Grangemouth, saying it is "managed decline".

Speaking to the BBC's Sunday Show, Shanks said discussions with investors on Grangemouth's future was ongoing and that they were focused on the "long-term".

Earlier this week, Jan Robertson, Grangemouth director for Scottish Enterprise, said she had received a "mixture of inquiries" from businesses, including those interested in the site as well as some which "have a good opportunity to become projects in the relatively near-term".

"Our approach very much at the moment is working with those and working as closely and quickly as we can to make the progress that we want to see in Grangemouth."
