(S5W-14787) Fergus Ewing: Details on the number of salmon that have been reported to have escaped from Scottish fish farms are published on Scotland’s aquaculture website - http://aquaculture.scotland.gov.uk/data/fish_escapes.aspx . The Fish Health Inspectorate undertake a programme of statutory inspections conducted in association with fish health surveillance to ascertain whether satisfactory measures are in place for the containment of fish, prevention of escape of fish and recovery of escaped fish, in accordance with the requirements of Aquaculture and Fisheries (Act) 2007. In addition, the Scottish Government published ‘A Technical Standard for Scottish Finfish Aquaculture’ in 2015 which determines technical requirements for fish farm equipment in Scotland and applies to all species of finfish. The Standard is designed to be used alongside operational procedures and training of staff to ensure equipment is used and maintained appropriately and procedures followed correctly.

Kate Forbes (Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch) (Scottish National Party): To ask the Scottish Government what information it has on the main causes of net breaches at Scottish salmon farms, and what advice it gives to operators to minimise these.

An assessment of the main causes of net breaches at Scottish Salmon farms is available in the following report - http://www.sarf.org.uk/reports/ All answers to written parliamentary questions are available on the Parliament’s website, the search facility for which can be found at http://www.parliament.scot/parliamentarybusiness/28877.aspx Kate Forbes (Skye, Lochaber and Badenoch) (Scottish National Party): To ask the Scottish Government whether it will undertake any engagement with salmon farm operators regarding netting materials in order to minimise breaches and escape of stock.

One the Council’s first tasks was to consider the potential implications for rural Scotland of the UK leaving the EU. Their analysis (published in late November 2017) makes clear the fundamental and significant role played by EU membership in the environmental, social and economic well-being of rural Scotland.It also makes clear the scale of the challenge and the enormity of the threat posed by Brexit to Scotland’s rural economy. http://www.gov.scot/Publications/2017/11/6792 To assist the NCRA in their work we have published a paper on understanding the rural economy, which sets out core information including on GVA, employment and businesses in rural Scotland. http://www.gov.scot/Publications/2018/02/3310 Through the Strategic Research Programme we funded Scotland’s Rural College to produce a report into farm level profitability for four Scottish farm types (dairy, beef, sheep and crops) under three potential post-Brexit trade scenarios. The report was published in February 2018. https://www.sruc.ac.uk/downloads/file/3606/assessing_the_impacts_of_alternative_post- brexit_trade_and_agricultural_support_policy_scenarios_on_scottish_farming_systems Along with Defra, NI Daera and WG we funded the FAPRI Brexit report, which outlines the impact of a range of Brexit scenarios on the agriculture sector. https://www.afbini.gov.uk/sites/afbini.gov.uk/files/publications/FAPRI-UK%20Brexit %20Report%20-%20FINAL%20Clean.pdf We have also commissioned a consortium including SRUC and UHI to research Seasonal Workers in Agriculture on a year-long project which will report by ‎ 31 March. The James Hutton Institute is carrying out demographic work including projections of the numbers of migrants needed to support the economy and society of remote and sparsely populated Scotland which will be also published by ‎ 31 March.

  • Labour Party Adaptation to Multilevel Politics: Evidence from British General Election Manifestos Dr Lynn Bennie Politics and I
    Labour Party Adaptation to Multilevel Politics: Evidence from British General Election Manifestos Dr Lynn Bennie Politics and International Relations University of Aberdeen and Dr Alistair Clark Politics University of Newcastle Accepted for publication in British Politics, 30th May 2019 1 Labour Party Adaptation to Multilevel Politics: Evidence from British General Election Manifestos Abstract Some policy areas debated in British general elections are the responsibility of devolved institutions, not the UK parliament. Devolution means that state-wide parties produce different versions of their general election manifestos in the devolved territories. Deploying a multi-level party framework, this article examines intra-party variation in Labour’s manifesto content through an original study of British, Scottish and Welsh Labour party manifestos from 2001 to 2017. The analysis focuses on the content and structure of Labour’s general election manifestos across the UK. It examines the roles performed by these documents, revealing how the Labour party has responded to the challenges of devolution. The analysis highlights the variable speeds at which sub-state parties embrace autonomy. It finds that Welsh Labour is more inclined to diverge from the content of UK Labour manifestos than the Scottish party, suggesting Scottish Labour has been slow to understand the politics of national identity and reluctant to embrace opportunities created by devolution. The article has implications for three key literatures: approaches to manifesto analysis; the roles performed by party manifestos; and party adaptation in multi-level systems. Keywords UK Labour, party manifestos, multi-level politics, party adaptation, Scotland, Wales 2 Labour Party Adaptation to Multilevel Politics: Evidence from British General Election Manifestos Devolution means that distinct policy agendas exist in different parts of the UK, and many policies debated in UK general elections do not apply at the sub-state level.

  • [2020] CSIH 27 XA111/19 Lord President Lord Menzies Lord Brodie
    FIRST DIVISION, INNER HOUSE, COURT OF SESSION [2020] CSIH 27 XA111/19 Lord President Lord Menzies Lord Brodie OPINION OF THE COURT delivered by LORD CARLOWAY, the LORD PRESIDENT in the remit from the Sheriff Appeal Court in the cause STUART CAMPBELL Pursuer and Appellant against KEZIA DUGDALE Defender and Respondent ______________ Pursuer and Appellant: Sandison QC; Halliday Campbell WS Defender and Respondent: Dunlop QC; Bannatyne Kirkwood France & Co 27 May 2020 Introduction [1] The pursuer challenges the sheriff’s interlocutor of 17 April 2019, which assoilzies the defender in the pursuer’s action of defamation. The sheriff held that the defender’s article in the Daily Record newspaper was defamatory in that it contained an innuendo that the 2 pursuer was homophobic. However, he went on to determine that the defender had established the defence of fair comment. [2] The issues are, first, whether the statement in the article was a comment or an assertion of fact. Only if it were comment might the defence of fair comment apply. Secondly, if it was a comment, was there sufficient reference to facts which were true and upon which the comment could be based? Thirdly, was the comment fair? The pursuer also takes issue with the sheriff’s assessment of damages at £100. Background [3] The pursuer has operated a blog called Wings Over Scotland since 2011. He had a related Twitter account. The blog had around 200,000 to 300,000 views per month. The Twitter feed had 60,000 followers. The pursuer’s style can be rude, especially about unionist politicians, including the defender.

    Chairchoob plucks the Scotmid chickens Friday, 03 January 2014 18:06 By Huvva Feel, Our Cooperative Correspondent Chairchoob of the Committee Of Conservative Kleptomaniacs, Ian Davidson MP, gathered his flock of Parliamentarians from Scotlandshire [1] to condemn the splittist propaganda that Scotmid customers are being forced to buy. "Abody kens, that aw the Natz get orgasmic aboot ony Braveheart references", he crlucked. "That's why we spik aboot it aw the time an' they nivver mention it at aw.

They're a bitty mair expensive, bit 'ats why Ah need the extra cash frae the Co-op." Barren Ffoulkes (former Brahms and Liszt MSP) demanded to know why there had been no debate in the House of Lords about this threat to British unity. "As a long term beneficiary of Cooperative Party funding, I've always known that it's just a clever way of funding the British 1 / 3 Chairchoob plucks the Scotmid chickens Friday, 03 January 2014 18:06 Labour Party, however I've always had my doubts about these Scotmid bastirts. They boast about it being Scotland's largest 'independent' co-operative, and that's dangerous talk. Real cooperation is based on being told what to do from those in England that know better, not pretending that you can be 'independent' and still cooperate with others internationally. "Not only did they refuse to be incorporated into the Manchester Co-op, but they have dared to expand south of the border and sieze control of the Penrith Co-op.
