The question
To ask the Scottish Executive whether it will list the landholdings owned by (a) it and (b) the Crofters Commission and used for the Livestock Improvement Scheme administered by the Crofters Commission in each of the last 10 years, broken down by name, acreage and owner of each holding and whether it will produce a plan of the landholdings at the start of each year.
The answer
In 1994 the Secretary of State for Scotland owned three properties which were used for the Livestock Improvement Scheme. One of these, Wester Aberchalder farm (841.37 hectares), was sold in 1994 in three lots. The remaining two properties are (a) Beechwood (currently 86.773 hectares) and (b) Knocknagael and Balrobert (currently 284.683 hectares) which are owned by Scottish ministers. Plans of these properties showing the areas which have been sold and the areas remaining have been lodged in the Parliament’s Reference Centre (Bib. number 33746).
We do not have plans of these properties showing their extent at the start of each year but it will be possible to establish how the holdings changed on an annual basis from the plans that have been lodged in the Parliament’s Reference Centre (Bib. number 33746). The Crofters Commission does not own any land.
