Equalities, Human Rights and Civil Justice Committee [Draft]

British Sign Language Inquiry

Meeting date: 3 June 2025

Evelyn Tweed

Good morning. Thank you for being here today. As Maggie Chapman said, my questions are about local BSL plans. We have heard criticism that they are high level and lack detail and consistency. What does a good BSL plan look like? Do you have any exceptional examples of good practice? I will start with Hannah Tweed.

You will be pleased to hear that this will be the last question in this session.

How will the Scottish Government consider the strategic needs of port infrastructure, to support potentially larger offshore salmon farms? We have heard quite a lot of concerns about decommissioning. Can you comment on that?

Natural Environment (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 28 May 2025

Evelyn Tweed

You talked about costs and resources and making sure that you have enough money to continue to do what you do as well as undertaking the new role. Can you tell us a bit more about how you looked at the costs and how you put your estimates together?

Natural Environment (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 28 May 2025

Evelyn Tweed

At the present time, are you still looking at what needs to be done and what your future workload would look like, given what you have said in your opening remarks about being properly resourced? Can you tell us what you think being properly resourced looks like?

If you did get more information on that, it would be good if you could come back to us with it.

Civil Legal Aid Inquiry

Meeting date: 27 May 2025

Evelyn Tweed

Good morning. I thank the witnesses for their answers so far and for their opening statement.

Witnesses have highlighted recruitment and retention issues for solicitors working in civil legal assistance. What is the Scottish Legal Aid Board doing to address that issue?

Civil Legal Aid Inquiry

Meeting date: 27 May 2025

Evelyn Tweed

You say that there are issues with the data and levers, and you are talking about small numbers for the things that you are doing. Given that a lot more legal aid support is needed, do you have any thoughts on how that can be provided, if you cannot do it?

Civil Legal Aid Inquiry

Meeting date: 27 May 2025

Evelyn Tweed

Good morning, minister. My question is on recruitment and retention. You will be aware that we have heard from witnesses that there are a lot of anxieties in that area. The Scottish Government funded legal aid traineeships in 2021. Has there been an evaluation of that scheme, and will it be continued in the future?

Okay—that is fine.
