We are now considering the most recent inflationary trajectory over the next 12-18 months and are working on a Pay Strategy for 2023-24 in collaboration with stakeholders. This will set out key principles and recognise the link between pay, public service reform and workforce. We expect to publish the strategy by the end of March 2023.

The Scottish Government has not made any estimates of number of people resident in Scotland who have undergone forced marriages abroad in each year. Whilst we do have data on forced marriages, this data does not identify where the marriage itself took place. This is as the locus of the offence is where the violence, threats, coercion or deception took place and not the locus of the marriage itself, which could potentially be outside of Scotland.

We welcome the research conducted by WSP on behalf of the UK Government.

The Scottish Government contributed financially to the research project and will continue to work with the UK Government on next steps following the publication of the report.

Until such time as new guidance is produced, ETSU-R-97 should continue to be followed by applicants and used to assess and rate noise from wind energy developments.
