To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-12736 by Michael Matheson on 16 December 2022, whether it will provide an update on whether Crown Estate Scotland will be permitted to keep and use for the Crown Estate 9% of the gross revenue from the option fees raised via the ScotWind leasing process.

Scottish Ministers are finalising an agreement with Crown Estate Scotland for a percentage transfer of CES’s previous year's gross revenue to its capital account in 2023-24 and 2024-25. This will be set out in a Ministerial Direction which will be published on the Scottish Government website.
