He said collaboration with Energy Secretary Mr Miliband would continue, but he urged the UK Government to at least match the Scottish Government’s just transition fund.
The First Minister said: “We need the UK Government to do at least the same and deliver a fair amount to avoid significant economic disruption in central Scotland, and to protect and promote Scotland and Grangemouth’s future interests.
He said the additional £25 million for the Grangemouth just transition fund would take the Scottish Government’s total investment for the site to £87 million.
John Swinney has pledged a further £25 million to secure a “just transition” for Grangemouth, calling on the UK Government to match the Scottish Government’s funding.
The First Minister said the Labour Government must “do what it said it would do before the election”.
