Following extensive consultation with Members, SBF will launch our election manifesto entitled ‘Towards Sustainable Growth in Scottish Construction’ ahead of the hustings which will concentrate on the key areas of Planning, Skills, Energy Efficiency, Capital Investment and Procurement.

It is envisaged that the manifesto and hustings event will help to raise the profile of priority issues for the Scottish construction industry and a number of leading politicians have already confirmed their participation;

• Jackie Baillie MSP: Scottish Labour
