Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 27 May 2025

Douglas Lumsden

The container never leaves the premise, so no money is added to the cost of it.

Planning and Infrastructure Bill

Meeting date: 27 May 2025

This is the voice of community groups—this is what they are coming back with.

Well, I find it strange that community groups are so against what you are doing. It sounds like you are not listening to them. I will finish there, convener.

I briefly want to agree with Mark Ruskell—I, too, am in favour of writing to the Government to ask where the guidance is. I do not know what the next step would be after that, considering that the Government committed to issuing the guidance at the end of 2024. I just wonder what the next step would be to try to make the Government honour that commitment, convener.

Where do I take it back to? I would have to take it with me for the rest of the night, wouldn’t I, if I wanted to get my money back?

Some stakeholders have raised concerns about the proposed reduction in time available to lodge a legal challenge to a ministerial decision about an onshore wind farm from three months to six weeks. How would you justify that change?

So, the Environmental Rights Centre for Scotland is wrong, in your belief.

Earlier, cabinet secretary, you said that a DRS for cans and plastic but not glass is better than no DRS at all. What has changed between now and June 2023, when you could have proceeded with a DRS with just cans and plastic? You might then have saved a lot of money on Circularity Scotland and also the court case that I think that Biffa is now taking against the Scottish Government.

You could have had that in June 2023.
