Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the operational status of the Clydebridge Steelworks in Cambuslang.


Answer

The Clydebridge Steelworks site has been non-operational since 2022. At the meeting of the Public Audit Committee on 25 February 2026 Jeffrey Kabel, Chief Transformation Officer at the Liberty Steel Group, advised that options were being explored for the future of the site and that the business had been engaging with Scottish Enterprise. Mr Kabel further stated that they were close to a significant development project for the site and that this would probably involve selling the site.
