Oliver Mundell. I thank the Minister for her answer, but let me tell her things are pretty bleak in Dumfriesshire.

The Fishpal system has been appointed as the delivery partner through a grant award. The Researchers are well recognised with already having established skills and expertise in marketing fisheries. Practical support to ensure continued participation was considered by us to be a more productive way forward rather than directed to clubs, which would of been extremely difficult to assess on a club by club basis. Drin McAlpine To ask what extent the Scottish Government can take cultural significance of traditional fisheries into account when implementing conservation measures? Part of the consideration for the assessment of any of our rivers already takes into account the various methods used to catch salmon and the likely impact that activity would have on the conservation status of the river and our special areas of conservation.

It supports disabled people's rights by removing barriers and improving access to travel and ensuring that disabled people are fully involved in the work to improve all aspects of travel across the various modes of travel and transport, including, of course, ferries as well. The framework has been developed in close engagement with disabled people from across Scotland. Donald Cameron. I would like to thank the minister for that answer. A few weeks ago, I met with an enabled Scotland group in Danone for adults with learning disabilities who expressed serious concerns over disabled access. Whilst I strongly welcome any proposals to ensure future ferries are fully accessible for everyone in our communities, what reassurances can the minister give today to groups like Enabled Scotland to help alleviate this problem now rather than down the line? Minister. I appreciate that from the member. I'd be more than happy to meet the member or if he wishes to write with me with the specific concerns, more than happy to take them on board. What I would say is what we're doing here and now, we have just announced that ferries accessibility fund, that's £500,000 of match funding, so potentially a £1 million pot that can be spent here and now to improve access ports, harbours and ferries. During my summer tours in the past few months, I noticed myself that ferries can be much improved for those with accessibility issues. More than happy to meet with the member, to have a discussion with the member about those specific concerns, there are opportunities to do things here and now and I'm open minded to listening to those concerns. Kenneth Gibson. I was delighted that the Minister for Transport and Islands came to Arnhem on 26 September to officially launch the new £12.3 million hybrid ferry that MV Katrina. Can he please tell the chamber how the greater capacity of this new port Glasgow built ferry will help more people, disabled and otherwise, goods and services travel between Arnhem and Argyllshire, boosting both economies? I was delighted to visit Arnhem just a couple of weeks ago with the member. It would be discourteous of me, of course, to mention the fact that he almost broke the soap machine at Arnhem Attics, almost annihilating the entire industry of the island. I'm pleased that I've visited the MV Katrina. It is a great vessel, of course, highlighting the importance of Ferguson's marine engineering and the importance of Scottish commercial shipbuilding. It's worth saying that, of course, there will be great advantages to the economy, accommodating 150 passengers, 23 cars and a number of HGVs, but it's also important to say that the environmental impacts of these new hybrid ferries is not something that can be discounted easily, fantastically energy efficient, helping us to meet those CO2 reduction targets that we have set ourselves. I'm delighted and I look forward to being back in Arnhem, I'm sure, in the near future. Question 3, Elaine Smith. Thank you, Presiding Officer, to ask the Scottish Government what it is doing to address child homelessness. Minister, Kevin Stewart. Thank you, Presiding Officer. The Scottish Government has ensured strong legal rights to housing and support for homeless households with children. Separate guidance has been developed on the particular issues faced by children experiencing homelessness. We're also providing funding to local authorities to develop the housing options approach to prevention. That will be further strengthened by the publication of a training toolkit for local authorities and their partners, which will address the prevention of homelessness amongst families with children. Elaine Smith. I thank the minister for that response, but does the minister accept that homelessness to borrow a phrase from the shelter report is far from fixed and that 5,000 children in Scotland wakened up this morning without a home of their own, which has a terrible effect on their mental health wellbeing and attainment? Given that, we will soon debate the fairer Scotland action plan, will the minister ensure that the Government's approach to homelessness is brought forward as a priority so that the Government's commitments are delivered as soon as possible? Minister. Thank you, Presiding Officer. The Government is, of course, committed to delivering 50,000 affordable homes during the course of this Parliament, including 35,000 homes for social rent, which is really important in tackling those situations. I know that Ms Smith is taking a keen interest in those issues over the last Parliament and, indeed, again this one. I have a determination to make sure that we can provide the very best in terms of temporary accommodation that is required for families with children. I am more than willing to speak with Ms Smith if she would like to discuss how we can work together to ensure that we can get this absolutely right for homeless people and particularly homeless families with children. Question 5, Murdo Fraser. To ask the Scottish Government what recent correspondence it has had with the UK Government regarding the impact on Scotland of the expansion of either Heathrow or Gatwick airports. The Scottish Government has maintained regular contact with the UK Government on matters related to the airports commission and, in particular, our request that Scotland's access to the UK global hub airport is maintained in the lead-up to new runway capacity and increased once this is in place. Murdo Fraser. I thank the cabinet secretary for his response. As I am sure he is aware, we are expecting an announcement in the next few weeks on whether Heathrow or Gatwick are to benefit from a new runway. The Scottish business community is firmly off the view that the Heathrow option is the better one in terms of connectivity to Scotland. Will the Scottish Government join with the Scottish Conservatives even at this late hour in calling on the UK Government to go for the Heathrow upgrade? Cabinet secretary. First of all, I congratulate Murdo Fraser for speaking in his chamber for the first time since his election, not mentioning the words independence referendum. I am also very pleased to have some clarity about the Conservative position because, of course, Ruth Davidson opposed in 2010 the Heathrow option and now apparently supports it. The Conservative party has opposed and supported APD, and now I am not too sure what the Conservative party position is. These are important things for Scotland's air services. The delay in relation to this has been not just weeks, it has been months and it has been years, and the delay is caused by the one person, the one body that can take this decision, which is the UK Government. We have put pressure on them to make sure that whatever decision is taken, and we have also had direct discussions with both Heathrow and Gatwick, is in Scotland's interests in terms of routes, facilities and infrastructure. We will continue to do that to make sure that Scotland's interests are put to the forefront. Of course, we will continue to talk to the UK Government on maintaining and guaranteeing links to Scotland, which is the most important thing for Scottish air travellers. Marie Todd Links between the regional airports, such as Inverness and the hub airport, will be vital to the rural economy. What can the Scottish Government do to ensure that regional links are there and to push for a decision and end the damaging uncertainty? John Swinney Once again, we have been absolutely clear that whichever London airport prevails, and we obviously know the recommendation of the commission, that we need Scotland's airports to benefit from enhanced access, as has been mentioned by the member. The new Inverness Heathrow service is evidence of what we can help to bring about under the existing capacity limitations. It is entirely reasonable to expect significant further gains. A number of airlines have made this point as well about some of the additional services that could be gained. It is quite clear that the decision is long overdue and that it is having a detrimental effect on the whole of the UK. We can see improved services for the regions, as Marie Todd mentioned, so I would suggest that the UK Government gets on and makes this decision. Alex Cole-Hamilton To ask the Scottish Government what plans it has to require local authorities to carry out additional training for teachers and other school personnel on how to deal with children who have an attachment disorder or are affected by it. John Swinney Improving health and wellbeing has been identified as one of the key priorities of the national improvement framework, because we recognise that children need to feel safe and cared for throughout their time in school in order to flourish and to achieve positive learning outcomes. In our recently published delivery plan for excellence and equity in Scottish education, we confirmed our commitment to review of initial teacher education programmes and we have committed to working towards every professional working with children being trained on attachment, child development and child protection. Alex Cole-Hamilton I thank the cabinet secretary for his answer. Many members in this chamber will be aware of the very particular needs faced by particularly looked after children, but there are many other children who face challenges in our school. Teachers should therefore be equipped with the range of skills and how to manage that behaviour in the classroom. Recently I have been dealing with a number of constituents whose children have been further traumatised due to the failure of school staff to adapt their approach according to individual child circumstances. The cabinet secretary told me that her children were shouted at despite school staff being made aware of a history of paternal abuse in the household, which led to very real anxiety. When that child brought that up with the school in question, they were told that no child could be treated any differently than any other. Does the minister not agree that we actually really need to address the way that teachers are trained to handle the very specific needs of children who face attachment disorder, trauma and loss in our schools? Alex Cole-Hamilton Let me make two points to Mr Cole-Hamilton. The first is that it is absolutely essential that every child in their circumstances is taken into account in the way in which their education and their wellbeing is supported by individual schools and members of the teaching profession. That is the approach that is driven by the Government's agenda, which is widely shared and supported by local authorities by getting it right for every child to make sure that we adapt and take forward an approach that is appropriate to the needs of every young person. The second point is that, if Mr Cole-Hamilton has any particular concerns about the way in which individual children have been dealt with, the appropriate course of action is to raise those directly with the individual schools concerned and also with the education authorities who have the immediate responsibility for the management of individual schools, which is the position that is provided for in statute. I reiterate my view in general that it is essential that we properly equip the teaching profession to provide for the needs of all young people in their care, and that is what the Government's priorities and our delivery plan are designed to do. Jeremy Balfour Can I thank the cabinet secretary for his answer? The cabinet secretary will be aware that often children who have been fostered or adopted have attachment issues that are greater than other children. Would he or one of his colleagues commit to meeting with the adoption agencies here in Scotland to discuss what further support they can get from Government and local authorities in regard to these issues when children are at school? Michael Matheson I am involved in much of that dialogue already and I thank Mr Balfour for his question. I would assure him that having engaged as the First Minister has engaged recently on the question of the support for looked after children that we need to have an approach that directly addresses the needs, the very challenging and complex needs of such children and to ensure that we can provide the best support in the future. Fostering, sustainable and consistent fostering and, ultimately, adoption can be options that can be taken forward that must be applied very carefully and directly to the needs of individual children. I assure Mr Balfour of my interest in exploring how we can better serve the needs of looked after children in these circumstances and put in place the support that they require to ensure that they can fulfil their needs. That is their right to be supported by the state to enable them to do so. Joan McAlpine To ask the Scottish Government what impact leaving the EU and the single market could have on Scotland's red meat exports. Minister Humza Yousaf Approximately 80 per cent of Scotland's red meat exports are destined for the European Union. Figures from the industry show that the value of beef and lamb exports from Scotland to the EU were approximately 73 per cent. As I said, that is 80 per cent of our red meat exports. However, if Scotland was subject to current tariffs that apply to countries outwith the EU, then the same volume of beef and lamb would cost around 50 per cent more for importers to buy our products. In a highly competitive market, the consequences could be profound with potentially much reduced sales or indeed lower prices paid to our primary producers through the supply chain, neither of which is desirable and illustrates the importance of maintaining access to our largest export market. Joan McAlpine I thank the minister for that answer. As he is aware, south of Scotland produces a significant amount of Scottish beef and lamb for UK and EU markets, so that potential impact on livelihoods is very worrying. Can he advise how many free trade agreements with countries outwith the EU currently include provision for beef and lamb exports and what might happen should Scotland be forced out of the EU against our will? I answer her question directly. The current markets that we trade with outside of the EU are five that we have free trade agreements with in terms of our red meat exports, Switzerland and Norway, Monaco, Hong Kong and Canada. Having looked at the figures that they equate in terms of our beef sales to a total volume of 4.8 per cent and our lamb at 2.5 per cent, where is the EU? As I said, my previous answer equates to 80 per cent. Even if we look at some of those countries outwith the EU, the tariffs can be up to 30 per cent on some red meat exports, so profound consequences indeed. There are two things that we learnt from the Tory party conference this week. One is the dislike of foreigners, but secondly, they are pushing for a hard, hard Brexit. Not being members of the single market, not having access to the single market, will be extremely detrimental to those in the south of Scotland and other regions across Scotland who are looking to export their red meat to the European continent. I have no doubt that there may be some very uncertain times ahead following Brexit, but does the minister agree with me that the daily apocalyptic predictions of Joan McAlpine on any issue, some with just the most tenuous links to the EU, are in danger of turning a very serious matter to what some might call project fear on steroids? To be accused of making apocalyptic hyperbolic assertions by Neil Findlay, the man who scares on every issue under the sun, from St John's on health to transport. Frankly, Deputy Presiding Officer, it is like being accused by Donald Trump of being anti-Muslim.
