Contaminated Land Advisory Group

Overview

The Contaminated Land Advisory Group (CLAG) was set up in February 2015 to provide a forum for dialogue and discussion between Scottish Ministers and representatives from the contaminated land community.

CLAG provides advice and information on land contamination matters and issues as they relate to Scotland. The group has no defined timescale, but has meetings as required for undertaking tasks it has been assigned.
