HOLYROOD MARKS FIRST ANNIVERSARY OF SOCIAL SECURITY SCOTLAND<br />
 <br />
“FAIRNESS, DIGNITY AND RESPECT” NOW AT HEART OF SYSTEM<br />
 <br />
The Scottish Parliament celebrated the first anniversary of Social Security Scotland, in a debate led by SNP MSP Shona Robison.<br />
 <br />
The agency made its first payments in September 2018, delivering the Carer’s Allowance Supplement – which has helped around 77,500 people - and the Best Start Grant - which has supported almost 10,000 low-income families.<br />
 <br />
Social Security Scotland will also deliver a new £10 Scottish Child Payment - described as a “game changer” by anti-poverty campaigners and estimated to lift 30,000 children out of poverty – ahead of schedule in 2020.<br />
 <br />
Speaking in the debate, Shona Robison MSP said:<br />
 <br />
“It was a proud moment for me when this parliament passed the Social Security (Scotland) Bill. <br />
 <br />
“It was a proud moment for all of us who want to see a fairer, more respectful and dignified Scotland.<br />
 <br />
“The first year has been a success – bringing over 700 jobs to my constituency in Dundee, and delivering face to face support to those who need it.<br />
 <br />
“Let’s not forget the words of the UN’s Special Rapporteur on extreme poverty and human rights who said that UK Government compassion for those who are suffering has been replaced by a punitive, mean-spirited, and often callous approach to welfare.<br />
 <br />
“And to that end, I echo Social Security Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville when she calls for all social security to be devolved to Scotland to create a system with the people of Scotland for the people of Scotland.’’   <br />
 <br />
“The UN letter declares that the poverty is a political choice. Let’s choose to end poverty.”<br />

Derek Mackay Tree Planting, 5 February 2020<br />
<br />
Finance Secretary Derek Mackay visited Thornton Wood near Kelty in Fife ahead of publishing the Scottish Budget on Thursday 6 February.<br />
<br />
Tackling the global climate emergency will be at the heart of this week’s Budget.<br />
<br />
During the visit, Mr Mackay planted a tree as part of the Scottish Government’s commitment to support forestry creation through planting 12,000 hectares of woodland this year. This will be supported by an additional £5 million investment.<br />
<br />
The site is run by Forestry and Land Scotland, and is a former opencast mining site which is now being restored to forestry.<br />

Derek Mackay Tree Planting, 5 February 2020<br />
<br />
Finance Secretary Derek Mackay visited Thornton Wood near Kelty in Fife ahead of publishing the Scottish Budget on Thursday 6 February. <br />
<br />
Tackling the global climate emergency will be at the heart of this week’s Budget.<br />
<br />
During the visit, Mr Mackay planted a tree as part of the Scottish Government’s commitment to support forestry creation through planting 12,000 hectares of woodland this year. This will be supported by an additional £5 million investment.<br />
<br />
The site is run by Forestry and Land Scotland, and is a former opencast mining site which is now being restored to forestry.<br />

<br />
The No 3rd Runway Coalition was at the Scottish Parliament today to urge the SNP to change their position on supporting the Heathrow third runway proposal and to send the UK Government a message to 'think again'. Campaigners will be joined by MSPs from Scottish Greens, and SNP to highlight the environmental damage to Scotland and the rest of the UK that building a third runway would mean, as well as the fact that Scottish airports would suffer as a result.  Campaigners also believe that the SNP appear to be too trusting of UK Government promises – particularly in relation to the impact on Climate Change commitments - as revealed by Keith Brown, Cabinet Secretary for Economy, Jobs and Fair Work, in response to a question from Patrick Harvie MSP in the Scottish Parliament last Thursday.<br />
<br />
The Labour party announced their formal opposition to the proposal on Wednesday, on the basis that the UK Government’s Airports National Policy Statement failed all four of party’s tests on climate change, delivering extra capacity, air pollution and benefits to be felt outside of London. Additionally, the long-awaited UK Government mitigation framework for international aviation emissions won't be published for many months after MPs have been asked to support the Heathrow proposal. A recent report by the New Economics Foundation seriously calls into question the economic case – using the Department for Transport’s own measures; and this is before taking into account the economic impact of Brexit <br />
