Securing a long-term recovery from the Covid pandemic will be the “overriding ambition” of the SNP if it is re-elected to power next month, Nicola Sturgeon has pledged.
The First Minister and SNP leader said there would be “no limit” to her party’s ambitions for boosting the economy and creating new jobs.
Infrastructure investment of more than £33 billion over the next five years could support some 45,000 jobs, Ms Sturgeon said, adding that plans to build 100,000 affordable homes over the next decade could support a further 14,000 jobs a year.

BiFab went into administration last year NEARLY 300 jobs are to be created at a bought-out yard in Fife for the manufacture of wind turbine foundations. Burntisland Fabrications (BiFab), which has yards in Burntisland and Methil in Fife and one on the Isle of Lewis, went into administration at the end of last year after Scottish Government ministers ruled out nationalising the company. Harland and Wolff (Methil) Limited, a subsidiary of InfraStrata, took over the Methil and Lewis sites in February following an £850,000 deal. The new owner has now been awarded a contract by Saipem Limited for the fabrication, consolidation and load-out of the foundations to be conducted at the Methil plant.
