On 8 November 2023, I launched the consultation on my proposed Ecocide (Prevention) (Scotland) Bill. Since then I have received in kind support and expect to receive further in kind support from Stop Ecocide International Ltd (SEI) (a not-for-profit company that campaigns to criminalise ecocide in law, of Valley View The Ridge, Bussage, Stroud, England, GL6 8HD). The value of in kind support received from Stop Ecocide International Ltd is estimated to be £765. [Registered 7 December 2023]
