To ask the Scottish Government what discussions it has had with the UK Government regarding the Ecocide (Scotland) Bill and specifically in relation to any potential section 35 or section 40 issues under the Scotland Act 1998, and what steps are being taken to ensure that cross-border enforcement and corporate liability provisions do not face constitutional or legal impediments.

The answer

There have been official level discussions with the UK Government on the Ecocide (Scotland) Bill. The Scottish Government considers that the Bill, if appropriately amended at Stage 2, would not have raised issues under section 35 or section 40 of the Scotland Act 1998.
