A Wool Strategy for Scotland

Lodged by Lorna Slater (Scottish Green Party) Members' Business Motion 23 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that wool is integral to the economy, landscape and cultural heritage of Scotland; further recognises that wool production and use touches many different sectors including agriculture, construction, skills, culture and heritage, small business, and tourism; understands that wool is an important sustainable fibre and part of a circular economy; acknowledges what it sees as the challenges being faced by wool producers and users, including loss of scouring and processing infrastructure, competition from imports and risks of losing vital skills as workers age; considers that there are significant opportunities, in relation to wool, to support rural businesses, innovation and brand Scotland, and notes the belief that a comprehensive Wool Strategy for Scotland would encourage new opportunities for collaborative working and practical outcomes across industry sectors, including in the Edinburgh Central constituency.
