Promoting economic growth is one of the Scotland Office’s priorities and I am proud of the contribution of the financial services industry to the Scottish economy, with recent figures showing it is now worth £14.8 billion in GVA while directly supporting 148,000 jobs. Edinburgh makes up a sizeable proportion of Scotland’s overall financial and related professional services industry, employing 57,290 people.
To build on this sectoral success the UK government is developing a long-overdue industrial strategy, with financial services one of the priority sectors. This will ensure that the sector in his constituency is key to attracting investment and help support businesses in Scotland and across the UK.
The Secretary of State meets monthly with the Deputy First Minister to discuss a wide range of shared economic growth priorities.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Scotland Office)
Oil and gas will be an important part of our energy mix for decades to come, but diversifying the North Sea industries is also key to protecting jobs and industries in the long-term. We have worked at pace to consult on updated environmental guidance so we can provide certainty to industry.
Scotland Office and DESNZ Ministers have been in regular contact regarding the issue and have jointly engaged with the industry on next steps.
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Scotland Office)
The recent decision made in the Court of Session regarding the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields is an independent matter for the courts.
The Government has consulted on revised guidance for Environmental Impact Assessments to take account of scope 3 emissions from burning the extracted oil and gas, in anticipation of the outcome of this case
We will respond to this consultation in due course and developers will be able to apply for consents under this revised regime. We continue to engage regularly with all parts of the energy sector in Scotland.
Our priority is a fair, orderly and prosperous transition in the North Sea in line with our climate and legal obligations, which drives towards our clean energy future of energy security, lower bills, and good, long-term jobs.

The UK Government acted decisively, helping to secure the commercial deal by Navantia UK. This saved all of Harland and Wolff shipyards, protecting 1000 jobs across the country.
This industry-led deal will help ensure that the MOD's Fleet Solid Support contract is successfully delivered. Navantia UK has committed to future investment in Harland and
Wolff, strengthening the UK's industrial base and safeguarding essential sovereign shipbuilding capacity for future naval work and energy contracts.
The Industrial Strategy, alongside Sector Plans for the growth-driving sectors, will be published in Spring 2025, aligned with the multi-year Spending Review.
The Scotland Office will continue to work with DBT and Navantia UK to support a smooth transition process and will engage with local communities where appropriate to maximise the benefits for all.

The UK and Scottish Governments share the ambition for Scotland to lead and fully benefit from the clean energy transition. But this change needs to be managed responsibly and in dialogue with a range of industries. Marine planning and fisheries are devolved matters and it is therefore for the Scottish Government to determine the optimal balance between the two, in line with their broader priorities.
My Department remains in contact with Scotland’s fishing industry and the Scottish Government on a range of issues, as we manage the transition to net zero.

Fisheries and marine policy are devolved matters and therefore for the Scottish Government to determine within Scotland.
Promoting Scotland internationally is one of the Scotland Office’s four priorities. As demonstrated through the Secretary of State for Scotland’s recent trip to Southeast Asia, the Brand Scotland programme is all about championing Scotland's leading industries and export products in international markets, such as Scottish seafood.
Meanwhile this government is developing a long-overdue industrial strategy, working to attract investment, and looking at measures to ensure regulation is proportionate and helps support businesses in Scotland and across the UK.
