The Scottish Government might come in to give targets for ecosystem health, or national parks might come in and tell the sector that it needs to achieve X, Y and Z. Does the bill give you comfort that you might have a more stable target that aims to be achieved over a longer period than five years, which is what the period looks like under the UK forestry ...
The SQA was prepared for some questions but, as I mentioned earlier, it was not prepared for queries on matters that had come up in the survey as issues that history teachers have—things like, “We are not sure of the standard on X, Y or Z.” One particular issue that came up in our survey was the standard that is required for a three-marks-out-of-three conc...
Therefore, if Government takes a decision to increase spending in a certain area and to cut spending in another, that should be in line with the national outcome on X, Y or Z. You should be able to use the outcomes as guidelines for your reasons for spending.
Frankly, the classic exchange is that Opposition parties, as the convener alluded to, say, “You must do X, Y, and Z,” and the Government, with some justification, says, “Where does that come from?”
That said, a lot of that plan involves objectives such as, “Meet stakeholder X, bring together Y group of stakeholders, start a discussion about Z.” Those are not actions that we can clearly measure the impact of.
Lynne Cadenhead is absolutely right about that growth pipeline, but it is also quite clear that people say, “Women do not have X, Y and Z.” I have also heard it said that we are risk averse.

You are talking about anecdotal evidence from fishermen saying, “Hey, there’s an abundance of X, Y and Z,” but that is without accurate catch estimates or an accurate reflection of what is being caught on the back of the boats.
Might that involve having a conversation with the SFC and saying, “This is what happened in the past, but we think that we can do X, Y and Z in the future”? Yes. It is not about trying to be competitive with other universities and removing places from them; it is about identifying the need and opportunity for skills development in an area.
