I am copying this letter to the Convener of the Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee.
Section 1 sets out a duty to produce a plan and lay it before the Scottish Parliament within 12 months of that provision coming into force (Under Section 17, the Scottish Ministers have the power to specify, by regulations, the date on which the section comes into force).
I attach a Type 1 notification which sets out the details of the above SI which the UK Government intend to lay before Parliament on 18 November 2021, subject to the affirmative resolution procedure.
The £1 Billion Challenge launched by SEPA and the Scottish Wildlife Trust in 2020, for example, lays out a route-map highlighting opportunities to generate £1 billion (and more) for nature - through a combination of investments, levies, loans, innovative payments and blended finance opportunities.
In addition, the Committee has yet to be informed of the proposed laying date of the SSI. While you may have already laid these regulations ahead of your response to this letter, the Committee would be grateful for advance notice.
