The question
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-13602 by Mr Jim Wallace on 9 March 2001, what the proposed timetable is for the enactment of the Title Conditions (Scotland) Bill and how soon thereafter it plans to introduce the Tenement (Scotland) Bill.
The answer
The Title Conditions (Scotland) Bill will mark the second stage in the Property Law Reform Programme commenced by the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Act 2000. We plan to launch a consultation exercise on the draft Title Conditions Bill later this spring. Following the consultation period, we hope to bring the Bill before Parliament as soon as an opportunity arises in the legislative programme. As indicated in the answer to question S1W-13602 on 9 March 2001, the proposals for a Tenement Bill will require to be redrafted in the light of the Title Conditions Bill as it is passed by Parliament. It is not possible at this stage to say exactly when a Tenement Bill may be introduced, as it will depend upon legislative time being found.
