Current status: Answered by Gillian Martin on 28 October 2024
To ask the Scottish Government for what reason it stated that the terms of reference of the Zero Waste Scotland landfill ban and infrastructure capacity report were "incomplete" and "under final review" on 19 June 2024, in correspondence with Friends of the Earth Scotland in response to freedom of information request FOI/202400417634, in light of it having stated in earlier correspondence on 3 May 2024 that the "outputs and recommendations of this work are currently under consideration by the Scottish Government".
The landfill ban and infrastructure capacity report was published by Zero Waste Scotland on 11 October 2024. At the time of the Environmental Information Regulations request (EIR), 19 June 2024, the report was still being reviewed by ZWS. Scottish Government considered outputs and considerations of various draft versions of the report prior to its final publication.
