The First Minister is eager to encourage further private investment in the Scottish economy.

Growing investment in Scotland would help to tackle child poverty, John Swinney has said as he attended a summit in London.

Bringing companies to Scotland and continuing the transition to renewables would help to sustain public services and fight child poverty, the SNP leader added. “Scotland has tremendous economic potential between our abundant renewable energy resources, and the skills, knowledge and expertise of the people and companies that work here,” he said.

“It is this kind of growth, backed by the investment certainty that our green industrial strategy provides, which will help power progress on the Scottish Government’s priorities.
