MP welcomes idea of Green Investment Bank in Capital
Mr Crockart raised the issue at Scottish Questions in the House of Commons, highlighting Edinburgh's role as a world leader in pioneering green technology and citing a recent 6m green energy deal between Scotland and China and the possible creation of a renewable energy cluster at Leith Docks made the Capital the right location for the bank.
In reply, Mr Moore said: "My honourable friend makes a very strong and compelling case. We will be announcing details shortly."
Mr Crockart said: "When the largest energy consumer in the world - China - recognises that Scotland is a world-leader in pioneering clean, green energy, Edinburgh becomes the obvious site."
