Written Answers Wednesday 16 September 2015 SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT Enterprise and Environment Patricia Ferguson (Glasgow Maryhill and Springburn) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government what assistance it provides to local authorities that wish to invest in environmentally friendly initiatives. (S4O-4593) Aileen McLeod: The Scottish Government has treated local government very fairly despite the cuts to the Scottish Budget from the UK Government. The local government finance settlements have been maintained over the period 2012-16, with extra money for additional responsibilities, and, as a result, the total settlement in 2015-16 now amounts to over £10.85 billion. The vast majority of this funding, including funding for environmental initiatives, is being provided by means of a block grant. It is therefore the responsibility of individual local authorities to manage their own budgets and to allocate the total financial resources available to them on the basis of local needs and priorities, having first fulfilled their statutory obligations and the jointly agreed set of national and local priorities. Murdo Fraser (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government what assessment it has made of the impact on rural Scotland of its plans to introduce business rates on sporting businesses. (S4O-4594) Aileen McLeod: The Scottish Government has published a Business and Regulatory Impact Assessment and an Equality Impact Assessment for the Land Reform (Scotland) Bill, which includes the proposal to end the exclusion of shootings and deer forests from the valuation roll. The Scottish Government has also published a screening determination, under the Environmental Assessment (Scotland) Act 2005, that the Bill is not likely to have significant environmental effects and therefore that a Strategic Environmental Assessment is not required. Neil Bibby (West Scotland) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government what progress is being made with its Dairy Action Plan. (S4O-4595) Richard Lochhead: I launched the Dairy Action Plan in March 2015 to take forward the recommendations set out in the earlier dairy review entitled Ambition 2025 which considered ways to achieve sustainable economic growth in the sector. The plan is being implemented through the Dairy Growth Board – ably led by Paul Grant of Mackays Jam. Work is ongoing to improve the marketing of Scottish dairy produce on international markets – including the launch of a new Scottish dairy brand marque at the Anuga Food Fair in October 2015. Provision of better advice and information to producers has been delivered through the Scottish Dairy Hub – a free online information/advice source. Tailored support is also being provided to First Milk – including support for upgrading of Campbeltown Creamery and assistance with haulage costs for Bute producers. Claire Baker (Mid Scotland and Fife) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on its Low Emission Strategy. (S4O-4596) Aileen McLeod: The Scottish Government consulted on the draft Low Emission Strategy earlier in 2015. My officials are working closely with Transport Scotland, SEPA, local authorities and other partners to build on those proposals and we look to publish the final document later in 2015. Colin Beattie (Midlothian North and Musselburgh) (Scottish National Party): To ask the Scottish Government what the impact on its policy will be of reports that Germany, Latvia and Greece are to opt out of growing genetically modified crops. (S4O-4597) Richard Lochhead: The fact that Germany, Europe’s largest country, Latvia, Greece and others are going to opt out of growing EU approved genetically modified (GM) crops shows the continuing concern that exists across the EU about the cultivation of GM crops and confirms that we were right to lead the way in exercising the new powers to opt out. Scotland’s decision was based on the societal and economic consequences that growing GM crops might have for Scotland and that, as consumer surveys continue to show, there is little demand for GM food. Rob Gibson (Caithness, Sutherland and Ross) (Scottish National Party): To ask the Scottish Government how many salmon anglers have killed on rivers in each year since 2010. Holding answer issued: 4 September 2015 (S4W-26995) Aileen McLeod: Annual reported catch of wild salmon and grilse retained is presented in the following table. These numbers show slight increases from those published at the time as our records are updated when further information is provided. Year Number 2010 32,866 2011 24,332 2012 22,683 2013 13,559 2014 8,036 Tavish Scott (Shetland Islands) (Scottish Liberal Democrats): To ask the Scottish Government how much it has paid dairy farmers for their products in each of the last five years, and how this compares with the cost of production. Holding answer issued: 3 September 2015 (S4W-27005) Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government has not directly purchased products from dairy farmers in each of the last five years. We do have a contract with Sodexo for catering services in a number of Scottish Government buildings. Sodexo purchases milk from Grahams family dairy who in turn purchase milk from farmers. All milk is Scottish Red Tractor standard and Grahams confirm that they pay above the usual farmgate price. Tavish Scott (Shetland Islands) (Scottish Liberal Democrats): To ask the Scottish Government, when it procures Scottish-produced milk, how it ensures that this is purchased at above the cost of production. Holding answer issued: 3 September 2015 (S4W-27006) Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government has not directly been involved in procuring Scottish produced milk. We do have a contract with Sodexo for catering services in a number of Scottish Government buildings. Sodexo purchases milk from Grahams family dairy who in turn purchase milk from farmers. All milk is Scottish Red Tractor standard and Grahams confirm that they pay above the usual farmgate price. John Scott (Ayr) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government what action to support dairy farmers is being taken by (a) it and (b) its agencies. Holding answer issued: 8 September 2015 (S4W-27065) Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government recognises the difficulties faced by dairy farmers during the current period of global market volatility, which impacts on the domestic dairy sector. All parts of the dairy supply-chain, including processors, retailers and the food service sector must play their part to ensure there continues to be a market for high-quality, locally-sourced dairy products and we have encouraged them to do so. The Dairy Action Plan which was launched in March 2015 aims to improve the resilience of the sector and provide the right platform to ensure the entire industry can thrive in the context of volatile market prices. Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Scottish Development International are working with the Scottish Government and individual dairy enterprises on a range of project-specific actions. John Scott (Ayr) (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party): To ask the Scottish Government what investment in support of the dairy farming industry is planned by (a) it and (b) its agencies. Holding answer issued: 8 September 2015 (S4W-27066) Richard Lochhead: The Scottish Government has provided farmer-owned dairy co-operative First Milk with a grant of up to £416,000 towards the upgrading of the regionally important Campbeltown Creamery. The creamery provides the sole market for the Kintyre peninsula’s remaining 36 milk producers and itself supports almost 30 full-time jobs. In addition, resources have been made available to temporarily support First Milk’s haulage costs associated with transporting raw milk from the Isle of Bute for processing. More broadly the Scottish Government is also supporting the work of the Dairy Growth Board as it implements the recommendations set out in the Dairy Action Plan, launched in March 2015 and aimed at boosting the sector’s resilience. A range of other dairy-related activities are underway involving Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and Scottish Development International. These include efforts to improve the marketing of Scottish dairy produce internationally, potential inward investments and support for First Milk’s recovery programme. Sarah Boyack (Lothian) (Scottish Labour): To ask the Scottish Government what consultation it carried out with its scientific advisors prior to its recent decision on GM crops, and what advice they provided. Holding answer issued: 15 September 2015 (S4W-27101) Aileen McLeod: The Scottish Government made the decision to opt out of cultivating EU approved GM crops on the basis that it is not willing to risk Scotland’s multi-billion pound food and drink sector. Like Europe’s biggest country, Germany, the Scottish Government has restated its long-held policy to maintain a precautionary approach to GM. GM crops go through scientific assessment before they are authorised by the EU, but Scotland is taking advantage of the EU’s decision to allow member states and regions to opt out for non-scientific reasons. Both Science and Advice for Scottish Agriculture and the Chief Scientific Adviser for Rural Affairs, Food and the Environment are sources of expert advice on a range of issues that help inform the government’s position. Linda Fabiani (East Kilbride) (Scottish National Party): To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide
