The answer

Answered by Ross Finnie on 19 Sep 2002 · 27 days after it was lodged, on time

Section 41(3) of the Crofters (Scotland) Act 1993 requires that the Crofters Commission must provide, on request, an extract of any entry on the Register of Crofts to any person who, in the opinion of the Crofters Commission, has good reason for desiring an extract of that entry. The register does not contain plans.Chapter 9 of the white paper entitled Crofting Reform Proposals For Legislation seeks views on proposals to allow full public access to the Register of Crofts and to allow the Crofters Commission to charge for the provision of data from the register.
