The question

To ask the Scottish Government whether any Scottish Ministers have participated in meetings of the working group established to manage the effects of fishing on seafloor integrity, as described in the National Marine Plan Review 2021: Three-Year Report on the Effectiveness of Scotland's National Marine Plan, and, if so, whether it will publish the minutes of those meetings.

We have reviewed the report referred to in the question but have been unable to identify the working group to which the member refers. Consequently, we are unable to provide information on ministerial participation in meetings of that group or any associated meeting minutes
