Answered Asked by Dorothy-Grace Elder SNP Lodged 10 Mar 2000

The question

To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will invite appropriate agencies to monitor and report on any sea and land pollution following the shelling of the Cape Wrath environment by the US Navy and whether it will make representations to Her Majesty's Government to seek compensation from the United States Government, similar to that offered to Puerto Rico, for any environmental damage caused to the area by such bombing.

The answer

Answered by Sarah Boyack on 24 Mar 2000 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

I refer Ms Elder to the answer I gave her on Thursday 16 March (Official Report, column 788). The Scottish Executive does not intend to make any such representations to Her Majesty's Government.
