The Public Audit Committee looks at reports published by the Auditor General for Scotland to examine whether public money is being spent efficiently and effectively.
On 14 March 2023, the Auditor General for Scotland published the 2021/22 audit of Ferguson Marine Port Glasgow (Holdings) Limited.
The reports says:
"There remains uncertainty about the longer-term sustainability of FMPG. Further investment in FMPG and its workforce will be required for it to be able to secure future contracts once it has completed vessels 801 and 802. The Scottish Government has commissioned an independent review of future options for the yard, which is ongoing. Working together, FMPG and the Scottish Government need to establish and clarify plans for the future of the yard as soon as possible."
The report was discussed at the following Committee meetings:
The Committee has sent and received the following correspondence during its scrutiny of the report:
