Call for Pilot Project Providing Venison on School Menus to be Rolled Out Nationally

Lodged by Murdo Fraser (Scottish Conservative and Unionist Party) Standard Motion 33 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Argyll and Bute Council on launching a pilot project, in collaboration with Wild Jura, in which venison is supplied to six schools on islands; notes that it uses wild venison from the Ardlussa, Barnhill, Tarbert and Ruantallain estates and that children from the Small Isles Primary on Jura tried wild venison meatballs and burgers, which now feature on the school menu, and asks other local authorities, including those in Mid-Scotland and Fife, to consider rolling this initiative out on a national level, given what it sees as the real health benefits of venison as a nutrient-dense meat, which is rich in protein and low in saturated fat, and the economic benefits to venison producers and Scotland’s rural economy.
