To ask the Scottish Government what consideration it has given to addressing potentially dangerous wooden cladding on residential buildings, including balcony structures that use wooden materials.
Answer · Paul McLennan · 17 Jan 2024
The Scottish Government is committed to remediating cladding that poses a fire risk in buildings across Scotland. The Cladding Remediation Programme considers that wooden cladding, including on balcony structures, will be within scope and included as part of the building assessment process. Consideration to wooden balconies is referred to in the Scottish Advice Note (version 2.0), which advises the following: Balconies
The design and construction of balconies should not facilitate fire spread over the external wall to an extent that would pose a risk to life. There are indications that fires on balconies are becoming more common (see following link). The most common causes of such fires are deliberate ignition, careless disposal of smoking material and misuse of barbeques. The severity of a balcony fire can be increased by combustible materials, such as furnishings or discarded materials stored, or used, on the balcony.
Further information can be found in Annex 1 in the following guidance External wall systems in existing multi-storey residential buildings - fire risk: advice note - version 2 - gov.scot (www.gov.scot)

To ask the Scottish Government, further to the commitment in its Programme for Government 2021-22, whether it will provide an update on its work to take a feminist approach to foreign policy.
Answer · Christina McKelvie · 9 Nov 2023
Today, the Scottish Government has published a position paper, "Taking a Feminist Approach to International Relations”. To date, the Scottish Government has been engaged in a period of evidence gathering, listening and learning from others. This has included the publication of an independent evidence report in June 2023 and today’s publication forms the first part of an ongoing response.
This position paper commits us to a set of principles which will help us guide our work and identify the focus and parameters of the policy, with an initial focus on the four priority areas of international development, trade, climate justice and peace and security. We recognise the development of Scotland’s feminist approach as an ongoing process. In line with our commitment to international knowledge exchange and policy partnerships, we are committed to continuous dialogue with stakeholders. We are clear that our work must be evidence-based and that a ‘one size fits all’ approach will fail to deliver for us all. The Scottish Government is determined to be a good global citizen and a feminist approach will support us to make a constructive contribution to addressing global challenges and achieving fairer outcomes.
