To ask the Scottish Government what progress it has made in developing a framework for compensation for fishermen affected by offshore wind developments, and by what date this work will be completed.

The Scottish Government is progressing work with the fishing industry, offshore wind developers and other stakeholders to explore potential options for addressing the impacts of offshore wind developments on fishers.

Scottish Government officials are currently developing and assessing these options with input from industry through the Scottish Offshore Wind Energy Council's Barriers to Deployment subgroup. Further engagement with stakeholders is planned to refine the options before advice is provided to Ministers for consideration.

This work remains ongoing. The final timescale for completing this work will depend on the nature and complexity of the option or options taken forward following Ministerial consideration. The Scottish Government will provide further updates as work progresses.

To ask the Scottish Government how it plans to provide support to Palestinian students who have been offered places at universities in Scotland, ahead of the implementation of the Scottish Gaza Scholarship Programme.

The Scottish Government remains deeply concerned about the devastating humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the impact it continues to have on civilians, including students whose education and future prospects have been profoundly affected by conflict and displacement.

Power over immigration is reserved to the UK Government and this includes decisions regarding safe and humanitarian routes to the UK for students in conflict settings. We welcomed the introduction in 2025 of the scheme enabling students from Gaza to travel to Scotland for study. The initiative supported 27 students on fully funded scholarships to take up places at Scottish universities during academic year 2025-26.

Scottish Ministers pushed the UK Government to continue these arrangements and it is welcome that they have resumed for academic year 2026-27.

We are urgently working with the UK Government and Scottish universities to make sure as many students as possible who meet eligibility criteria can begin their scholarships in Scotland.

Scottish universities, including Universities of Sanctuary, remain committed to supporting students affected by conflict and displacement. Together, we are providing humanitarian support to the people of Palestine and have already committed to explore how we can further support students from Gaza, including through the development of a new postgraduate Scottish Gaza Scholarship Programme.
