Public Audit Committee

Section 22 Report: “The 2021/22 audit of Ferguson Marine Port Glasgow (Holdings) Limited”

Meeting date: 1 June 2023

Bill Kidd

That is a future route, obviously—thank you for that.

Mr Irwin, the Scottish Government and Ferguson Marine are working together to agree on longer-term plans. How about future investment by the Scottish Government? According to the cabinet secretary, the yard aims to be privatised again, I believe.

Meeting date: 1 June 2023

Bill Kidd

Thank you very much.

Education, Children and Young People Committee

International Learning Exchange Programmes

Meeting date: 24 May 2023

Bill Kidd

Thank you, convener, and welcome to the meeting, Ms Green.

You touched on this in your reply to Stephanie Callaghan’s question, but what has been the impact of the withdrawal of Erasmus+ on youth work’s links with Europe? Is it still in the same boat?

Education, Children and Young People Committee

International Learning Exchange Programmes

Meeting date: 24 May 2023

Bill Kidd

You mentioned the financial side of things, funding and such like. What sort of financial impact has no longer having access to Erasmus+ had on member organisations? Are they struggling to get by, or are they managing to cover things?

Education, Children and Young People Committee

International Learning Exchange Programmes

Meeting date: 24 May 2023

Bill Kidd

Youth work organisations will be looking to continue to deliver. Have many of them been able to explore alternative activities that they can use to replace Erasmus+ in order to avoid financial closure?

Meeting date: 24 May 2023

Bill Kidd

So, in spite of the financial difficulties, you are keeping a positive outlook on things. Thank you very much.

Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee

Trusts and Succession (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 23 May 2023

Bill Kidd

Thank you. It was helpful to get a range of experience and options that it might be possible to figure in. That was good.

Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee

Trusts and Succession (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 23 May 2023

Bill Kidd

That has been mentioned before. Thank you for that.

Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee

Trusts and Succession (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 23 May 2023

Bill Kidd

Thank you. I have a further question on the back of what Mhairi Maguire said. She has a legal background, but some trusts might not have people in the same position. Could it be written into the bill that access to doctors, psychologists and mental health officers would be a good thing, so as to give confidence to people who are in such positions?

Would anyone like to comment?

Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee

Trusts and Succession (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 23 May 2023

Bill Kidd

That is very helpful. I direct my next question to any panellist who might have something to say on the matter. If it were to be considered that involving doctors, psychologists or mental health officers would be the right route to go down, should that be formally written into the bill? If not, what further support or input would you want a trustee to have in making such decisions? Having heard what Mhairi Maguire said, it seems to me that nothing further needs to be included. Is that correct?
