Anas Sarwar, the Scottish Labour leader, has said a government he leads will ensure that ferries and buses are built in Scotland. The Member of the Scottish Government (MSP) for Glasgow said the Government must come up with a “coherent” industrial strategy to enable Scottish manufacturing firms to thrive. He added this in the wake of issues at the publicly owned shipyard of Ferguson Marine, which became nationalised in 2019, and bus firm Alexander Dennis. A combination of unions, local politicians, and civic leaders has urged the Parliament’s ministers to directly award a key contract for building a ferry at the Port Glasgow shipyard.
