Here are the top business stories making the headlines in the morning newspapers.
Food-truck licences at beach deferred
Aberdeen City Council has put a question mark against more vendors being able to join the booming beach food-truck scene.
The local authority has deferred five new applications for food-truck licences at the Fittie end of Aberdeen Beach, citing concerns about overcrowding and litter.
The Press & Journal says a public consultation now will be held.
Council members voiced fears over the extra licences, which could increase the number of vendors on the beach to 26.
One councilor warned about a "proliferation" of food trucks if left unchecked.
But the council's decision was a surprise to those applying for the licences.
Danielle Smith, who owns Sweet Toots Cakery, had planned to expand the Newburgh bake shop she runs from home to the beach in time for summer.
She fears that the £7,000 she spent on the move - including buying a catering trailer - will go to waste.
North Sea industrial unrest
Numerous North Sea oil and gas platforms could be brought to a standstill as hundreds of workers prepare to down tools.
Unite announced yesterday that major operators face a "tsunami" of industrial unrest within weeks, as more than 1,000 members demand a better deal on jobs, pay and conditions.
According to the union, it is the biggest mandate it has received in the offshore sector for a generation, and could threaten the UK's energy security.
Energy Voice says the prospective action includes 700 workers at Bilfinger, 300 at Stork, 80 at Wood, as well as 50 from Petrofac.
They range from electrical, production and mechanical technicians, to deck crew, scaffolders crane operators, pipefitters, platers, and riggers.
Sale of Kinloch Castle falls through
A millionaire businessman has withdrawn his bid to buy Kinloch Castle on the Isle of Rum, blaming Scotland's Biodiversity Minister Lorna Slater
City financier and former Tory donor Jeremy Hosking planned to buy it from Scottish Government agency NatureScot.
But Scottish Green MSP Ms Slater put the sale on hold last November.
Isle of Rum Community Trust had raised concerns, including what it said was a lack of information on what Mr Hosking had planned for the building.
Mr Hosking told the BBC his plans to conserve the former hunting lodge had been "completely crushed".
The Scottish Government said it and NatureScot remained focused on securing a sustainable future for Kinloch Castle.
Thousands more jobs go at Amazon
Online retail giant Amazon plans to cut another 9,000 jobs as it seeks to save costs.
The firm, which employs 1.5million people worldwide, said the cuts would fall mainly in areas including cloud computing and advertising.
It did not say which countries would be affected, but said the positions would be closed in the next few weeks.
Boss Andy Jassy said it was a "difficult decision", but it would be best for the company in the long term.
The BBC says the firm already axed 18,000 jobs in January.
Like many tech giants, Amazon saw sales boom during the pandemic when customers were stuck at home.
But, more recently, its sales have slowed down as consumers spend less due to the cost-of living-crisis.
French votes of no confidence fail
The French Government has narrowly survived a vote of no-confidence, which was triggered when it forced through an increase in the pension age to 64.
It sparked new anti-government protests in Paris, where 101 people were arrested after stand-offs with police.
The vote, tabled by centrist MPs, had 278 votes in favour - falling short of the 287 votes needed.
Had it been successful, President Emmanuel Macron would have had to name a new government or call new elections.
A second no-confidence motion, tabled by Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party, also did not pass.
The BBC says that, now both votes have failed, the controversial bill to raise the retirement age from 62 to 64 will become law.
The votes were held after Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne used a special constitutional power, called Article 49:3, to push the bill through without a vote last week.
It sparked angry protests at the weekend, with some demonstrators clashing with police and blocking streets with debris fires in central Paris, as well as cities around the country.
Less Magnum for your money
Magnum has cut the number of ice creams sold in its multipacks despite the price staying the same for shoppers.
Unilever, the owner of the brand, has shrunk the size of the packs by a quarter in the latest round of shrinkflation on supermarket shelves.
The packs now carry just three ice creams, rather than four, but are being sold at the same price as the older format.
The Telegraph says it is the second round of downsizing for Magnums in less than a year.
Unilever reduced the size of the ice creams last summer in a scramble to mitigate the impact of rocketing costs.
