To ask the Scottish Government, in light of the publication of the 2019 decision paper, Asset Replacement, by the Water Industry Commission for Scotland, what assessment the Commission made of the compatibility of the creation of the additional capital assets and the emissions created by spending more on the ongoing maintenance of assets with reducing the carbon and other emissions required to meet the terms of the Paris climate agreement.
This is a matter for the Water Industry Commission for Scotland, and I have asked them to respond directly in writing to your question.
