Answered Asked by Johann Lamont Lab Lodged 15 Dec 2014

The question

To ask the Scottish Government what progress it has made with the establishment of a Scottish land reform commission.

The answer

Answered by Aileen McLeod on 7 Jan 2015

The current consultation on the future of land reform in Scotland proposes a package of measures to further the land reform agenda in Scotland, including the formation of a Scottish land reform commission.
There are questions in the current consultation designed to help develop the structure, role and remit of the proposed Scottish land reform commission. We anticipate that the commission could have oversight of a number of matters including the promotion of land reform, collecting evidence, carrying out studies and monitoring the impact and effect of law, policies and practices on land ownership in Scotland.
We very much look forward to responses to the consultation on all of our proposals for furthering land reform in Scotland.
