Stuart acknowledged concerns over Grangemouth's potential conversion into an import terminal but stated that both UK and Scottish Governments were committed to ensuring continued fuel supply, protecting jobs and creating opportunities. He highlighted ongoing collaboration with Petroineos to ensure a managed transition and mitigate job losses through economic support initiatives like the UK shared prosperity fund (£6.1 million) and Falkirk city and regional growth deal (£40 million). Stuart also emphasised the Government's commitment to supporting North Sea oil production, including new projects like Rosebank field development, which he argued would contribute to energy security and emissions reduction goals despite Labour party opposition.
