To ask the Scottish Government whether its (a) ministers and (b) civil servants have at any stage raised any concerns regarding windfarm payments with TS Prestwick Holdco or any other relevant group company’s management team; if so, (i) when and (ii) in what forum, and whether it will publish the minutes of any such meetings.
Answer
No. Ministers do not intervene in the commercial discussions and agreements between Glasgow Prestwick Airport and any third party.
