The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will report to the Parliament on progress in implementing the recommendations by HM Inspectorate of Constabulary for Scotland and the Inspectorate of Prosecution in Scotland in Natural Justice: A joint thematic inspection of the arrangements in Scotland for preventing, investigating and prosecuting wildlife crime and when it expects the most urgent of the recommendations, including the appointment of a serving officer as a full-time wildlife crime officer in every force, to be implemented.
The answer
The Scottish Government fully supports the recommendations of HM Inspectorate of Constabulary in Scotland and Inspectorate of Prosecution in Scotland report into wildlife crime. Officer appointments and organisation of the police services are a matter for the respective chief constables.
Considerable progress has been made in implementing the report''s recommendations as they apply to government, the police service and the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service. I will make a substantive report to Parliament on all aspects of this shortly.
