Current status: Answered by Gillian Martin on 25 March 2026
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-43887 by Gillian Martin on 5 March 2026, what steps it is taking to work with trade unions to promote Fair Work principles in private contracts for domestic (a) production, (b) transmission and (c) distribution of offshore renewable energy.
While the Scottish Government strongly encourages all employers in Scotland to follow Fair Work principles as part of its wider Fair Work agenda, it does not have the levers to enforce fair work conditions on private contracts. Employment law is reserved to the UK Government.
