Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it has any plans for a single accreditation scheme to be introduced in the salmon farming industry.
Answer
Whilst we do not currently have plans to introduce a single accreditation scheme for salmon farming in Scotland, we take into account accreditation schemes when considering regulatory change. The Scottish Government recognises the role accreditation plays in driving innovation and improved practice, as well as providing retailers and consumers with confidence.
