Where are those responses? I have looked for those responses and I cannot find any apart from the ones that were submitted to the formal consultation, and they were difficult enough to find.

Yes. Thank you, convener. Are asylum seekers comfortable with being moved from a city to a rural area, if that is their only option?

Salmon Farming

Meeting date: 10 May 2023

Rachael Hamilton

You may be aware that the Institute of Fisheries Management has released a statement that says that salmon are at risk of extinction. The matter is therefore an urgent one that needs to be dealt with. NASCO has also released a statement, which says that we need to be committed to using innovation and technology. From looking at some of the Scottish Government documents, it seems that support from Marine Scotland is needed to use that innovation and technology. What is holding us up in ensuring that the Scottish Government is not aiding the extinction of wild salmon, but is helping to preserve that iconic species?

When I was reading the papers on the TB order, the changes and the policy objectives within it, I was happy with most of it—I know that industry is happy with most of it—but something is niggling at me. I do not feel comfortable with one of the aspects: the 95 per cent reduction in compensation. I am minded to lodge a motion to annul but would like to find a solution to this, if possible.

My argument around this is based on the responses to the consultation. I know that a number of stakeholders who represent farmers were included in the consultation, but I would like to understand the views of a wider group of people who will be affected by the order. In Scotland, we are not currently affected, as such, by bovine TB. However, if we were to be, this could have a devastating impact on farmers who are already going through a lot of hardship. We should try to find some sort of solution by ensuring that we understand a little bit more about this specific aspect—on which, in fact, the response was not conclusive.

It sounds as though you are quite confident about the reporting and the verification process. What is in place to ensure that there are checks on and verification of the figures?
