Meeting of the Parliament 18 June 2025
On a point of order, Presiding Officer. I seek your guidance. From my hearing of what the cabinet secretary said, she told Parliament that there is representation from small businesses on the board of UK DMO board. I believe that not to be true—the reason being that the Scottish Grocers Federation, which sought to be on that board, was refused, and its contention is that there is no small business representation on the board, despite the fact that small grocery shops around the UK do not have the space to put in reverse vending machines and do not have the logistical capacity to deal viably with the scheme, and that all the flaws—I believe that there are around 40—in the Scottish scheme are manifest in the UK scheme. If it is the case that the cabinet secretary has misinformed the Parliament, what remedies do I have to correct that important error?
