Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee

Circular Economy (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 21 November 2023

Edward Mountain

You did not answer the question with regard to vapes, which you offered an answer to. It might come up later. I understand your point about single-use cups, but vapes are an easier issue, because they are dangerous, too, are they not?

We heard that, if we put a value on the stuff that is recycled, the industry will ensure that it develops that market.

Are those all your questions?

Yes, that is interesting.

Normally, when members have come to the committee to take part in a specific session, I let them ask their questions after all the committee members have asked theirs, but I suspect that Murdo Fraser’s question is specifically on fly-tipping—I hope that it is. Murdo, I will bring you in briefly, and ask you to limit yourself to three questions at most.

A lot of members want to ask questions on the back of this, so I will bring in a couple of members and see if we can throw their questions together. We are quite short of time. I will get Jackie Dunbar to ask her questions and Bob Doris can come in with his question at the same time.

Before anyone answers that, Bob, do you have a linked question?

Rhona, over to you. Moray Council has a huge record on dealing with fly-tipping. Are the fines enough? Or perhaps it does not have a huge record.

Rhona Gunn, your microphone is muted. Off you go—we will be able to hear you now.

Stephen Freeland would like to comment on that. Briefly, please.

Thank you, Mark.

I will come briefly to Sarah Boyack. I gently suggest that you might want to try to trump Murdo Fraser by putting two questions to one person rather than asking lots of questions.
