Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee

Thank you.

Good morning to you, minister, and to your officials.

Can the minister help the committee by explaining what competent assessment was received by the Scottish Government following the March 2023 gateway review of the Scottish deposit return scheme?

Sorry, but I am speaking to the minister. Does the minister know what the status was under the gateway review?

What recent discussions has the Scottish Government had with the Welsh Government, in light of the UK Government’s position?

Does Mr Page want to add to that?

Thank you. As the Government knows, the committee has expressed a view in writing that we would have found it helpful to see the gateway review and to have that published. On 23 May—three weeks ago—the Government said that it would be published imminently. To me, “imminently” means quicker than three weeks. Is there a date?

I have no more questions on the gateway review.

Meeting of the Parliament

Oil and Gas Industry

Meeting date: 7 June 2023

I would like to understand the Government’s current position on the Rosebank licence, which we know sits with the UK Government. Will the Rosebank licence, if approved, help or hinder the just transition that we need? After all, this is not just a transition—it is a just transition for workers and communities. It is a pity that Liam Kerr would not take an intervention, but I would love to get some clarity from the Scottish Government, because I wrote to Humza Yousaf on the subject ahead of his meeting with the Prime Minister and received no response. Communities deserve better than that.

Transfer of Operation of ScotRail

Meeting date: 30 May 2023

I am concerned about what the witnesses—especially Mick Hogg—have said about not wanting to say to future ministers, when someone has lost their life on Scotland’s railways as a result of antisocial behaviour, “Told you so.”

I looked back at the evidence that we took from Jenny Gilruth and Government officials. The issue of the trends that we are seeing was raised, along with the limitations on the British Transport Police and the particular concerns about the safety of women and girls on trains and at stations. That was supposed to be looked at as part of a national conversation. Can you give an update on that? What engagement has there been?

Earlier, Mick Hogg mentioned that people will not use the trains if they believe that antisocial behaviour is out of control. Is it already out of control?

A Government summit that will look at violence in schools and antisocial behaviour involving young people is due to take place. Does the focus need to go beyond schools to look at what is happening in the wider community?
