Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the Justice Committee’s inquiry in 2013 and the Scottish Government’s response to it, for what reason it has not yet published the voluntary code of practice on dismissing and replacing land-owning maintenance companies.
Answer
The Scottish Government is preparing a Voluntary Code of Practice on dismissing and replacing land-owning land maintenance companies.
I acknowledge that there has been a considerable time elapsed since the decision to bring forward a voluntary code of practice on dismissing and replacing land-owning maintenance companies.
Unfortunately, due to other pressures, work has not progressed on the voluntary code of practice as anticipated.
