Over the next few months, we will look at the issues that children and young people have identified and how we might code them against the current education system.
I am thinking of the difference between live trapping with humane cable restraints and the current Scottish code-compliant snare. There are a number of different impact assessments.
There is the Competition and Markets Authority and the groceries code adjudicator. They are partly there to ensure that the market works appropriately.
We have heard that the UN Secretary General has called the IPCC’s report “code red for humanity”. He warned: “This report must sound a death knell for coal and fossil fuels, before they destroy our planet.”
He confused the outstanding value of the debt with how the receipts are applied. He is right that it is for each council to decide how to use the receipts that are gained from right-to-buy sales.
I think that you are saying that, although a formal code—almost a legally enforceable code—is at play, nobody any longer regards it as being anything other than an informal guide.
