At the Economy and Fair Work Committee meeting on 6 December, I set out details of an expression of interest in purchasing Prestwick airport. Other parties have also approached Glasgow Prestwick with a potential interest.

Due to commercial sensitivities, as Mr Simpson will understand, it would not be appropriate to share further details, including the identity of an organisation behind any expression of interest, at this time. However, I will endeavour to update Parliament at the earliest appropriate point, should a proposal be received.
