Flood Risk Management (Scotland) Act 2009: The Designation of New Responsible Authorities

We agree with the proposal to designate Forestry Commission Scotland and the National Parks as responsible authorities under the Act and we urge that Scottish Natural Heritage and the British Waterways Board are also designated. In addition, LINK would like to know what processes are in place to check that all those who are currently responsible under the Act (including all emanations of Scottish Ministers, such as Marine Scotland, Transport Scotland and all Government directorates) are fulfilling their duties.
