Following SNP’s announcement that they will review their ban on wood-burning stoves, Highlands and Islands MSP Jamie Halcro Johnston said:
“Under pressure from the Scottish Conservatives and industry, the SNP have been forced into a review of their damaging and dangerous ban on wood-burning stoves.
“As well as leaving communities and families at risk when power is lost, these new regulations, brought in less than 2 months ago, are already impacting on the industry with sales down and jobs at risk.
“While this review is welcome, it is important to be clear that a review isn’t a reversal, and I will be keeping up the pressure on Scottish ministers. That starts with my debate in the Scottish Parliament tomorrow.
“This is a welcome victory today and an embarrassing u-turn for the SNP. But we won’t drop our campaign until the SNP’s ban on wood-burners is dropped altogether”.
