Meeting of the Parliament 10 May 2012 : Thursday, May 10, 2012
Stewart Stevenson The climate challenge fund is about innovation and projects, so it is important that we focus on that. The example that was given in the original question is an example of real innovation. I cannot anticipate what the independent panel will recommend to ministers, but that sounds like the kind of pr...

Meeting of the Parliament 10 May 2012 : Thursday, May 10, 2012
Stewart Stevenson I have seen successful schemes of that kind in Brussels and London. It would be a matter for Glasgow City Council to pursue. During the next three years, we will invest more than £20 million in active travel projects and I would be happy for the Government to work with Glasgow City Council on that.<...

Meeting of the Parliament 10 May 2012 : Thursday, May 10, 2012
The Minister for Environment and Climate Change (Stewart Stevenson) I recently announced the successful projects to receive funding from round 9 of the climate challenge fund. That included four projects totalling over £1.5 million in Glasgow that contained an element of sustainable transport. Projects included an award to the Glasgow bike station of just under £450...

Meeting of the Parliament 10 May 2012 : Thursday, May 10, 2012
Stewart Stevenson Taking the second question first, I point out that the reduction in stocks is specific to specific rivers. Stocks are rising in some west coast areas and falling in others, but those trends are simply an extension of trends that were in evidence before any farms were established.

On the i...

Meeting of the Parliament 10 May 2012 : Thursday, May 10, 2012
Stewart Stevenson In my time as minister responsible for wild salmon and recreational fisheries and, of course, aquaculture, I have sought to promote dialogue between the interests that have to share the same ecological space. I am therefore very pleased to report that as a result of a series of workshops that we hav...

Meeting of the Parliament 10 May 2012 : Thursday, May 10, 2012
The Minister for Environment and Climate Change (Stewart Stevenson) I refer the member to written answer S4W-06830, which was published in the daily written answers report on 30 April 2012 and which states:

“The Scottish Government has supported, and continues to support, the sustainable development of the aquaculture industry and wild salmon and recreati...

Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Stewart Stevenson I am glad that Mr Scott referred to a shared objective because that is where we are. The situation that we are in and the vessels that we currently have, as well as the timescale that is pressing us, make it difficult to find a vessel that would be suitable for all purposes.

I hope that t...

Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Stewart Stevenson I agree that it is essential that all maritime interests and industries are fully considered in any future proposals. The Scotland Office is leading on the issue and I assure members that the Scottish Government is engaged in the discussions.

The UK Government has consistently made it cle...

Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
The Minister for Environment and Climate Change (Stewart Stevenson) Emergency towing vessels are crucial to protect mariners and the marine environment. We have urged the UK Government to continue to provide cover until a suitable alternative solution can be identified and put in place. Although we are pleased at the positive engagement that we have had with Oil and...

Meeting of the Parliament 02 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 02, 2012
Stewart Stevenson The member makes some perfectly reasonable points. There is a substantial divergence of opinion among the stakeholders involved in the issue about how we should take it forward, which is why we are setting up an expert group to discuss it. We will have that established before the end of this month—u...
