Eight locations in England have been chosen and it is thought two could be selected in Scotland. But the Scottish Government has instead drawn up its own proposals for green ports which would adapt the UK plans and offer incentives to businesses that adopt fair work practices and contribute to Scotland’s transition to a net zero emissions economy. Both the SNP Government and the Labour Welsh Government have not agreed to the plans being progressed – claiming UK ministers have not given assurances they will not legislate in devolved matters. Devolved ministers are also demanding answers from the UK Government on funding for the projects, claiming the Conservatives have been unwilling to guarantee that support for ports in Scotland and Wales would match amounts being offered in England.
