Estimates the costs, benefits and risks of the Wildlife Management and Muirburn (Scotland) Bill. It also considers how the Bill adheres to the five principles of better regulation: transparency, accountability, proportionality, consistency and targeted where appropriate.
17. Post-implementation Review
The Scottish Government Wildlife Management Team has a close working relationship with key stakeholders across Scotland and will monitor the development of this policy change and its application in practice.
Under section 26B of the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 Scottish Ministers are required to report every calendar year on offences which relate to wildlife, including information on incidences and prosecutions, research and advice relevant to those offences.
In addition, the Bill requires that the codes of practice for grouse moor management and muirburn be reviewed and, where required, revised every five years, and in doing so, include consultation with NautreScot (if the code of practice is not delegated to them) and such other persons as considered appropriate.
