To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the reasons why the number of active construction projects in Glasgow and Edinburgh is reportedly lagging behind that of every other major British city.
There has been no specific assessment and it is important to note that these data only reflect Considerate Contractor members.
Scottish Government monitor the market dynamics through our data dashboard which was developed by the Construction Leadership Forum (CLF) and can be viewed on the CLF website https://www.constructionforum.scot/ .
We work closely with the construction industry through the Construction Leadership Forum (CLF), chaired by myself, which is the main forum for Scottish Government/Industry interaction and meets every two months.
