From Page 1 “Many businesses are not in a good place and this will leave considering if they have a fu-ture in dairying. NFU Scotland has been working to reach a resolution since the original announcement and will continue to work with Opportunity North East which will continue its work on the feasibility study. There is still full co-operation for the feasibility study to be completed, with full support of NFU Scot-land, and will seek to give options to producers.” Graeme Kilpatrick, NFU Scotland’s Milk Committee Chairman commented: “We are still awaiting answers to several questions we have posed to Muller in recent weeks. NFU Scotland has asked that if the need arises for the milk to go elsewhere other than Bellshill who will foot the bill and if the transport charges will be in-troduced to other areas of Scotland too. The transport costs should have been discussed with all those supply-ing Muller from across the UK as there is the possibility that these charges could be implemented more widely. “The Union previously spoke with the Scottish Government about investment in the dairy industry in Scotland and attracting inward investment to increase the processing capacity. NFU Scotland will take up these discussions with the new Cabinet Secretary Fergus Ewing in due course.”

Air Weapon Surrender Campaign Police Scotland has welcomed the public's response to its
Air Weapon Surrender Campaign, as it announced the
number handed in during the first week, and displayed a
number of them prior to destruction.
Assistant Chief Constable Mark Williams revealed the
number of weapons handed in to the 72 designated
stations from Lerwick to Stranraer in the first week alone
is 2301.
He said: "This is a fantastic start to the three week
campaign. It's great to see so many weapons being hand-
ed in and I'd like to thank responsible members of the
public for surrendering them.
"Remember there is still two weeks left to run and I'd like
to appeal to anyone who possesses an air weapon and doesn't intend licensing it to hand it in to one of the
designated 72 stations across Scotland.
"You can find out all you need to know about the surrender campaign on our website."
Justice Secretary Michael Matheson said: "I had the opportunity to meet with Police Scotland staff last week
and see some of the weapons that have been taken off our streets. It is extremely encouraging to know that so
many air weapons have been handed in by people who do not plan to have a licence when the new law comes
into force at the end of the year.
“I would encourage anybody with an air weapon to stay on the right side of the law by handing them in during
the surrender process or, if they wish to keep them, making sure they apply from 1 July 2016 for the right to
own an air weapon.”
Further details on the surrender campaign and process together with information surrounding the forthcoming
application process can be found on the Police Scotland and Scottish Government websites.
