To ask the Scottish Executive what contingency liability there is for third parties affected by possible damage to the BP Forties pipeline system during construction of the Forth Replacement Crossing, for example as a result of evacuation and clean-up costs.
Answer
A contingent liability exists in connection with the proposed construction of the Forth Crossing where it impacts on the existing BP Fortes oil pipeline. The contingent liability is required to cover the remote possibility that the pipeline could be damaged as a result of the construction of the new bridge. This is a potential liability to the contract not a cost, and as such does not increase the estimated cost of the project.

To ask the Scottish Executive for what reason the issue of the BP Forties pipeline system was not raised during consideration of the Forth Crossing Act 2011.
Answer
The Forth Replacement Crossing Team has been in lengthy and detailed engagement with BP and the worldwide insurance market seeking the best possible solution for the public interest. The meeting with the Finance Committee on 22 February 2011 was the first opportunity to speak meaningfully with the Parliament on the issue.

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it has acknowledged receipt of every objection letter that its Energy Consents Unit has received in relation to Forth Energy’s proposals for a biomass power station at Dundee.
Answer
There is no requirement under legislation to acknowledge, either in writing or electronically, representations received.
Due to the excessive cost, both in postage and in staff time, it is no longer the policy of the Energy Consents and Deployment Unit (ECDU) to respond in writing to representations received. Should the representation have been submitted by email, to the email address stated in the press notices, [email protected], the author will receive an automatic acknowledgement. All representations received are collated and logged and form part of the final determination process for the application.
