Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee

Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 22 June 2022

Jenni Minto

I have been thinking about consistency with other acts. Legislation on the protection of livestock was upgraded at the end of the previous parliamentary session and the beginning of this session. Are the provisions in the bill consistent with those in previous acts?

Crisis in Ukraine

Jenni Minto

I think that we all hope so, too, and we are standing behind you very strongly.

Crisis in Ukraine

Meeting date: 16 June 2022

Jenni Minto

I said to the consul general that, last week, I was in Dunoon grammar school, which had Ukrainian flags. As I drive from Edinburgh to Argyll and Bute, I see that there is much support across various communities for Ukraine. I am interested to hear more about what we can do, from a soft power perspective, to support Ukraine.

Crisis in Ukraine

Meeting date: 16 June 2022

Jenni Minto

Thank you for coming to the meeting and sharing all your thoughts with us. I am sure that that must still be incredibly difficult for you.

As the convener said in her introduction, we stand in solidarity with your country. For example, last week, I was in Dunoon, which is in my constituency, and the high school there had big Ukrainian flags surrounding its games hall. There is that strength of feeling for your country.

We have talked a lot about Ukrainians who are coming to Scotland. I am also interested in what you can tell us about what is happening within Ukraine. As my colleague Dr Allan said, we need to keep that in the public psyche—in public awareness. Will you share your thoughts about what is going on in your home country?

Crisis in Ukraine

Meeting date: 16 June 2022

Jenni Minto

Thank you, minister, and your team for coming along today. In your introduction, you talked about your recent visit to Poland. Are there any other experiences from your visit that you can share with us? You have highlighted the importance of the third sector. What did you learn from the third sector in Poland and Germany that the third sector in Scotland could perhaps also learn from when welcoming Ukrainians here?

Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee

Subordinate Legislation

Meeting date: 15 June 2022

Jenni Minto

What is the Scottish Government’s role in the annual review of frequency rates? How will the Scottish Parliament be able to scrutinise those decisions, which will impact on imports to Scotland?

Rural Affairs, Islands and Natural Environment Committee

Hunting with Dogs (Scotland) Bill: Stage 1

Meeting date: 15 June 2022

Jenni Minto

I thank the panel for coming along to the meeting. I represent Argyll and Bute, which, as far as I am aware, does not have any foot packs or hunts. Following on from Jim Fairlie’s questions, and comments from Mike Flynn and Kirsty Jenkins, I am interested to hear more about welfare and farmers needing to protect their livelihoods. What are your thoughts on the proposals in the bill that would reduce hunting with dogs to hunting with no more than two dogs and that would bring in a licensing scheme? In your answer, will you speak about why you oppose hunting with dogs—I think that you have already touched on that—and give your thoughts on the two-dog limit and how that might be interpreted by the farmers whom I have described?

From my perspective and with my limited knowledge, I am not entirely clear how the words “snare” and “humane” can be used in the same sentence. Can you expand on that a bit?
