Agricultural wages quango to be reviewed Print E-mail
Friday, 20 June 2008

The future of the Scottish Agricultural Wages Board is under a cloud after the Scottish Government announced a consultation on its role.

The Government will ask industry if the SAWB is still necessary in the wake of recent changes to employment law that govern agricultural wages.

Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and the Environment Richard Lochhead said:

“The Scottish Agricultural Wages Board (SAWB) has performed a valuable function over the years in ensuring the particular needs of agricultural workers are taken into account. However, the time is now right to consider its role and structure following changes to employment law.

“The Scottish Government is also committed to simplifying the landscape of Scotland's public bodies and bringing together organisations with similar skills, expertise and processes. In undertaking this review we look forward to hearing the views of both workers and employers in the agricultural sector.”

The issue of agricultural wastes can no longer be seen as an environmental challenge. I believe that the organic rich agricultural wastes have a key role to play in closing the energy and environment loop. At London South Bank University, we are currently working on novel but simple technologies to develop systems for exploiting the carbon and nutrients in high concentration agricultural wastes to minimise environmental impacts and to develop on-site energy microgeneration.

We will be happy to contribute to the consultation process and any subsequent programmes.
