The programme met its target of providing access to 85 per cent of homes and businesses across Scotland, alongside commercial coverage, by June 2015.

Availability of fibre broadband connectivity is critical to Scotland's future. Such connectivity will support future innovation in the digital economy and ensure Scotland's business base can remain competitive in the global digital environment. It will help the transition to a low carbon economy. It will drive rural economic growth and competitiveness, creating more and better jobs and opening up new and respects and protects our environment.

World Class Digital Infrastructure Programme

To be confirmed - further investment (private and public sector) will be required, both in core ( e.g. fibre and internet exchanges) and access networks ( e.g. ultrafast and 5G).

Over the next 12 months, we will set out a detailed digital infrastructure road map to deliver world class connectivity through to 2020 and beyond.

The world class programme is currently considering:

1) alternative financing, commercial and delivery structures that could allow the public sector to stimulate the market in a more sustainable and cost effective way, and accelerate the deployment of infrastructure; and

2) how current and future policy can be used to lever further digital capability, and the way in which it can support the wider industry to invest and grow.

World class digital connectivity across the whole of Scotland has a vital role in enabling a vibrant world leading digital economy.

As well as having the potential to generate significant economic benefits, increased digital capabilities will also have a positive impact on the provision of health, education and social inclusion.

£2.5 million ad hoc aid grant from Scottish Government to Summit Power in order to undertake feasibility study of for the proposed Caledonia Clean Energy CCS Project, a notional 570 MW IGCC Power Station with carbon capture and sequestration facility.

£2.5 million over 2015-16 and 2016-17

Most investment in infrastructure is expected to be met by the private sector. The potential public sector contribution is yet to be quantified.

2016 SG/ UKG joint grant funded feasibility work for Summit Power's Coal CCS Plant in Grangemouth is completed and a CfD is negotiated for this project. Preparatory work on framework for industrial CCS and wider CCS network is completed.

The economic opportunities for the development of a CCS-based industry are considerable and it is estimated a whole new industry could emerge in Scotland, which could support up to 10,000 new jobs in the next 10 years.

CCS will be a key global tool in the fight against climate change, given that some 40 per cent of global emissions are associated with coal.

Mixture of public and private capital and revenue funding.

Storage, repairs and maintenance at national cultural and heritage organisations

Rationalisation of the storage requirements, possible disposal of assets (unsuitable stores requiring significant repair), shared services through co-location of storage, and maintenance of remainder of existing estate.

To be confirmed following review of estates.

This project will be phased possibly over a 10 -15 year period, subject to funding availability.

Construction of new storage and maintenance of existing estate will need to be largely Scottish Government funded as maintenance and storage will be unlikely to attract lottery or private sector funding.

More efficient and high-quality public services: a new collections facility can help national cultural and heritage organisations to generate even greater social benefit within Scotland, and increased international profile for Scotland, by helping to increase access to the national collections . Reducing the amount of floor space required through more modern and more appropriate storage. Allowing disposal of outdated and high-maintenance storage facilities.

Opportunities to share facilities wherever possible and share costs such as security and transport.
