Question
To ask the Scottish Government (a) how many civil servants have worked on the Wildlife Management and Muirburn (Scotland) Bill, broken down by pay band, and (b) what the total cost of civil service resources for work on the Bill has been, in each month since it was proposed.
Answer
It is not possible to provide information on staffing costs for this work because in line with usual practice, details of individual tasks carried out by civil servants, including the number of hours spent on them, are not routinely recorded as there is no business need to do that.
