Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee

Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 22 June 2022

Rachael Hamilton

I have some quick questions on the back of Alasdair Allan’s questions. What facilities and storage do the police have for the purposes of seizing a horse or storing a quad bike, and who pays for that?

My second question, which is about spurious allegations, is for most of the witnesses. Robbie Marsland spoke about field investigators. In the case of an allegation from a field investigator, for example, would a licence be revoked on sight or on conviction? If a farmer suffers loss of livelihood, should there be compensation? NatureScot will know how general licences work, but there is nothing in the bill that suggests that there could be compensation or that there could be a method for appealing against a conviction. Robbie Kernahan, do you want to take that question with regard to how general licences operate?

You would need to consider where the horse would go after that.

That is interesting. Does anyone want to comment on my question about resource facilities?

On that point, we know that waiting times are two to four years. How would there not be an impact on healthcare provision if a greater number of people wanted to access services, in terms of their human rights? The waiting times guarantee in the health service in Scotland is enshrined in law. Does it apply to people who seek to transition?

I want to ask about your comments about section 9 having unintended consequences with regard to not collecting both gender and biological sex data. What did you mean, specifically, by that?

Cathy Asante, you mentioned the Age of Legal Capacity (Scotland) Act 1991. A long time has passed since 1991. What did you mean by “evolving capacities of children”?

In that sense, is the Cass review relevant, when young people from Scotland access healthcare in England because they cannot get access in Scotland?
