Written Question
Food: Cooperatives
Monday 16th January 2023

Asked by: Rachael Maskell (Labour (Co-op) - York Central)

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps she is taking to promote food growing cooperatives.

Answered by Mark Spencer - Minister of State (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Government recognises the importance of access to local green spaces, including allotments and the benefits of community food growing projects which enable and support healthy lifestyles within our communities. This also helps to bring about long-term improvements in people's health and wellbeing, promotes local social interaction, as well as providing wider benefits for nature and the environment


The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities leads on supporting communities across the UK to thrive, making them great places to live and work. The Government's Food Strategy set out our plan to ensure the food system supports healthy and sustainable diets for all as well as a prosperous food sector.

Scottish Parliament Written Question
S6W-14431
Thursday 9th February 2023

Asked by: Boyack, Sarah (Scottish Labour - Lothian)

Question

To ask the Scottish Government what support it has put in place for student housing cooperatives.

Answered by Hepburn, Jamie - Minister for Independence

The Scottish Government has no role in the provision of student accommodation, whether in purpose built student accommodation (PBSA) and university and college halls of residence, the private rented sector or student housing cooperatives. However, we are determined to improve accessibility, affordability and standards across student accommodation and the private rented sector as a whole.

A report by the UK Collaborative Centre for Housing Evidence (CaCHE) which was commissioned by Scottish Government to inform the next stages of its review of PBSA (Purpose Built Student Accommodation) and any recommendations to Ministers, was published on 12 December 2022. The review looked at a number of issues, including cost, contract terms, tenancy agreements, planning and regulation, specialist accommodation, support for students, and supply. The PBSA Review Steering Group met on 3 February to consider the findings of the CACHE research, and the Group will submit recommendations to Ministers on forward priorities for improving student accommodation in due course.
