The question

To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S4W-00530 by Fergus Ewing on 20 June 2011, for what reason all consultation responses from organisations and elected members concerning the proposed Leith biomass plant have not been published on the Scottish Government website.

The answer

Answered by Fergus Ewing on 14 Jul 2011 · 23 days after it was lodged, on time

I refer to the member to the answer to questions S4W-00530 and S4W-01039 on 20 June 2011 and 14 July 2011 respectively. All consultation responses received from organisations and elected members are available on the Scottish Government website at http://www.scotland.gov.uk/Topics/Business-Industry/Energy/Infrastructure/Energy-Consents/Applications-Database/Biomass/Leith-Index. Since the member’s previous question, a response from The Cockburn Association has been added and responses from elected members Malcolm Chisholm, MSP Edinburgh Northern and Leith, Shirley-Anne Sommerville, former MSP Lothians Region and Mark Lazarowicz, MP Edinburgh North and Leith, have been logged and added.
As previously stated, representations from members of the public objecting to the development will not be published on the website to protect the personal details of the individuals.
