Conclusion (the committee's words)
As Scotland undergoes another major transition — this time in the oil and gas sector — there is an urgent need to avoid repeating past mistakes. Future industrial transitions must be a practical, deliverable commitment that supports communities, retains skills and ensures that no community pays the price of industrial change. (Conclusion, Paragraph 70)
