To ask the Scottish Government how it is supporting Aberdeen’s journey to net zero through investment in bus infrastructure. (S6O-02879)

Meeting of the Parliament

Portfolio Question Time

Meeting date: 14 December 2023

Jackie Dunbar

Aberdeen rapid transit is a key transformational project to put in place a cross-city route of bus priority measures in order to provide fast, reliable, accessible transport from my Aberdeen Donside constituency to the city centre. Similar to Edinburgh’s tram network, it is a key measure to improve journey times and air quality throughout the city. Will the minister provide an update on any recent engagement that Transport Scotland has undertaken with Aberdeen City Council and the North East of Scotland Transport Partnership on that infrastructure project?

Portfolio Question Time

Meeting date: 13 December 2023

Jackie Dunbar

Reinvigorating high streets is a Scotland-wide challenge. Our Union Street, in Aberdeen, has harnessed the ideas of Aberdonians to help transform the city centre for the better. Will the cabinet secretary provide an update on the Scottish Government's support, worth £400,000, to fund the campaign and give the iconic Union Street a fresh lease of life?

Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee

Circular Economy (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 5 December 2023

Jackie Dunbar

For transparency’s sake, given that we have discussed the Convention of Scottish Local Authorities and the local authority recycling scheme, which I was previously heavily involved in, I should declare an interest having been a councillor for Aberdeen City Council.

We have heard in evidence that businesses have concerns about the broad nature of the powers to require reporting on waste and surpluses. How will the Scottish Government target the use of those powers to ensure that the requirements are proportionate and necessary to drive the change that is needed?

Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee

Circular Economy (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 5 December 2023

Jackie Dunbar

How will the data from that reporting help future policy making? How will you use it?

Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee

Circular Economy (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 5 December 2023

Jackie Dunbar

Does the Scottish Government already have powers to require due diligence reporting by businesses—for example, in the Regulatory Reform (Scotland) Act 2014—or could the bill support that?

Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee

Circular Economy (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 5 December 2023

Jackie Dunbar

During the passage of the Environment Act 2021, there was a lack of agreement between the Scottish and UK Governments regarding legislative competence to impose due diligence requirements on businesses regarding forest risk commodities. What is the Scottish Government’s current position on that, particularly given developments with the EU’s corporate sustainability due diligence directive and the Scottish Government’s aspirations to keep pace with it?
