THE SNP’s Roadmap for a Scottish Green industrial strategy is “laughable,” a Labour MSP said today, after the plans were launched.
The former Westminster SNP group leader and investment banker, Ian Blackford MP, commissioned the report, inviting retired senior civil servant Sir Martin Donnelly and London Business School’s Professor Dominic Houlder to lead the work.
The study recommends a focus on higher education and “alternative energy” in any future strategy, as well as a Scotttish industrial strategy council which would be directly accountable to the First Minister.
