Question reference: S6W-40527

  • Asked by: John Mason, MSP for Glasgow Shettleston, Independent
  • Date lodged: 16 September 2025
  • Current status: Answered by Jim Fairlie on 24 September 2025

Question

To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6W-37508 by Jim Fairlie on 29 May 2025, whether NatureScot presented its final version of the species licensing review to the Scottish Ministers in April 2025, and, if so, by what date the findings will be published.


Answer

Further to my response to S6W-37508, the Species Licensing Review was sent for external review in July but the completion of this review has been delayed. NatureScot anticipate that the external review will be completed shortly and returned to NatureScot before being presented to Ministers for consideration prior to being published.
