First, I note that the Cabinet Secretary’s letter of 27 November 2024 states with regard to cleaner fish that the Scottish Government received the report “Assessing implications of wrasse fishing for marine sites and features” in 2024, and not in 2020 as SIFT has stated. SIFT understood that the report had been received by Scottish Government in 2020, because that is the date it was received by NatureScot which is a non-departmental public body of the Scottish Government.
