To ask the Scottish Government whether it plans to assess whether there are any gaps or weaknesses in existing wildlife protection laws as part of its review and consolidation of nature conservation legislation.

The answer

Over the last few years the Scottish Government has updated a range of wildlife and nature conservation legislation. We do not have any plans to undertake further assessment of existing wildlife protection laws, beyond existing statutory review and reporting requirements.However, the Scottish Law Commission is currently undertaking a Nature Conservation Consolidation project, previously included in its Eleventh Programme of Law Reform. The project aims to bring together key pieces of nature conservation legislation, including legislation relating to wildlife and protected species, into a coherent and systematic body of law, helping to improve its accessibility and making it easier for the public, regulators and enforcement bodies to understand and apply.
