Question
To ask the Scottish Government when it last met representatives of Infrastrata to discuss the future of the BiFab yards at Methil and Arnish.
Answer
InfraStrata made contact with Scottish Government officials on 3 February 2021, confirming their intention to acquire the business and assets of BiFab through the Administration process. Officials in Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Scottish Enterprise have been in close contact with InfraStrata, and continue to work with them closely. I wrote at the time of the acquisition to InfraStrata, welcoming the announcement, and offering a meeting at the appropriate time.
