Thank you for contacting me about the environment.
While a handful of sections of the Environment Bill extend to Scotland, under the Scotland Act, environmental issues are devolved to the Scottish parliament.
Thank you for contacting me about arms exports and Early Day Motion (EDM) 24.
Members of the Government do not, by convention, sign any Early Day Motions as doing so is likely to breach the Ministerial Code’s rules on collective responsibility.
Oceans are currently facing unprecedented challenges, including climate change and over-fishing. It is more important than ever to take action to ensure our seas are healthy, abundant and resilient.
Thank you to everyone who took part in my 'Save Dumfries town centre' survey. I was very encouraged by the number of responses I received which, I believe, demonstrates the importance local people attach to the regeneration of the town centre.
