To ask the Scottish Government what protections are available for those living as property guardians, and what tenants' rights are available to them.

Answer · Shirley-Anne Somerville · 5 Jun 2026

The occupancy rights those living as property guardians have depend on the circumstances of the case and the type of occupancy arrangement in place.These types of arrangements usually offer a licence agreement to occupy the property rather than a tenancy, and the rights and protection they have will be determined by that contract. Licence agreements usually offer less security of tenure than afforded by a private residential tenancy (PRT) under the Private Housing (Tenancies) (Scotland) Act 2016 (the Act). However, if it is agreed that the guardian has exclusive possession for a specified period of time in return for the payment of rent, they could legally have a tenancy agreement.A private residential tenancy exists where the property is let to a tenant as a separate dwelling, the tenant lives in it as their only or main home, and the tenancy isn't excluded under schedule 1 of the Act.Under these conditions, a tenant will have a private residential tenancy even if they have signed a licence to occupy.It is important that anyone considering entering into a property guardianship arrangement considers carefully the conditions, rights, and responsibilities proposed under the agreement. If a property guardian believes they may have a private residential tenancy agreement, they can seek legal advice.

To ask the Scottish Government when the next round of the Just Transition Fund for the North East and Moray will open.

Answer · Gillian Martin · 2 Mar 2026

I am pleased to announce that the next funding round of the Just Transition Fund (JTF) for the North East and Moray will open for applications today.Up to £17 million will be made available to help create green jobs, support innovation, diversify energy supply chains, and enable workers to transition into low-carbon roles. For the first time, there will be a dedicated funding pot for community organisations and social enterprises, allowing eligible organisations to apply for a guaranteed share from the JTF. This round also includes new development grants to help groups strengthen or scale up emerging project ideas.This funding round has three pots which can be applied for:up to £3 million capital and £1 million resource for community and social enterprise projects - including specific funding to give communities the power to directly decide how money should be spent,up to £10 million for largescale commercial projects focused on jobs, skills and economic transition – with a minimum project size of £500,000, and;up to £3 million to support small and medium enterprises in the oil and gas supply chain diversifying into low carbon markets - expanding the provision of the ETZ Supply Chain Challenge Fund.The JTF has invested more than £85 million into 28 projects across the region since 2022 – helping to support hundreds of jobs and companies entering the offshore wind, marine energy and carbon capture sectors.I encourage all eligible organisations to consider applying to the fund. Further guidance and details on how to apply are available on our website.

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on its plans to publish an updated Offshore Wind Policy Statement in 2025-26, as set out in its Green Industrial Strategy.

Answer · Gillian Martin · 28 Jan 2026

The Scottish Government is publishing its updated Offshore Wind Policy Statement later today. Significantly, this statement updates the Scottish Government’s offshore wind ambition to up to 40GW by 2040, which will further reaffirm Scotland’s leading position in the offshore wind development globally.Offshore wind presents an era-defining opportunity to grow our green economy for the benefit of communities across Scotland, while supporting our energy security and journey towards net zero.The updated offshore wind ambition reflects and firmly underlines our commitment to delivering our existing pipeline of offshore wind projects at scale, including ScotWind and INTOG projects, and capitalise on the truly transformational economic opportunities they offer.In determining the updated ambition, we have considered consultation feedback, potential strategic benefits for Scotland, measures to address issues raised, and the rapid growth in power demand expected over the 2030s and 2040s.
