The Acorn Project based in St Fergus would take greenhouse gas emissions and store them under the North Sea, in a process known as carbon capture and storage (CCS).It comes following calls from business leaders for investment in the long-delayed project, which has been on a reserve list for funding.

The exact amount of development funding for the project has not been announced and UK government documentation published with the Spending Review states "a final investment decision will be taken later this parliament, subject to project readiness and affordability".Reeves said: "These are investments to make sure the towns and cities which powered our last industrial revolution will play their part in our next industrial revolution, to reduce our reliance on overseas oil and gas and protect working families from price shocks."SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn said: "It is welcome that after years of Westminster delays and funding snubs we have finally secured a measure of progress towards making the Acorn project a reality to create jobs and investment for our communities.

"However, the glaring omission in today's announcement was any detail on the scale of funding and the timescales for delivery which stands in stark contrast to the £22bn commitment the Labour Government has already given to carbon capture projects in England."It is almost as if the Chancellor was trying to tick off the first minister's wish list for infrastructure spending in Scotland.

It is not so long ago that John Swinney challenged the UK government to give the go ahead for the Acorn carbon capture and storage project and to reactivate the promise of investment in an Edinburgh supercomputer.

Only yesterday, Mr Swinney called for new spending to build more social and affordable housing."We've seen in the last few years that using antibodies to deliver chemotherapy drugs directly into cells can make a big difference for a variety of different types of cancer."

Around 33,000 people are living with myeloma in the UK. The new drug will be used when the first-choice therapy fails, so around 1,500 patients a year could benefit.The decision comes after a review by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence (NICE) concluded the drug was cost-effective for NHS use. NICE recommendations are normally adopted in England, Wales and Northern Ireland while Scotland has its own process.

The therapy is kinder than other cancer treatments, but is not free from side-effects.After a cancer cell has been destroyed, the remaining chemotherapy drug will leak into the body. This can cause dry eyes and blurred vision.
