Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether any changes in primary legislation in relation to the National Parks (Scotland) Act 2000 are being considered.
Answer
As part of the national conversation about our National Parks, we are considering the roles and functions National Park Authorities should have to help them continue delivering the aims set out in the 2000 Act, but also to play a key role in addressing the twin crises of biodiversity loss and climate change. We will consider consultation responses carefully, including any which propose changes to primary legislation.
