- The Chrichel Down Rules, remains in place with regard to the exceptions from the obligation to offer surplus government land back to its previous owner.

The answer

Answered by John Swinney on 8 Jun 2011 · 8 days after it was lodged, on time

Circular 38/1992 and the guidance it contains remains in place. The Scottish Government has, however, recently carried out a public consultation seeking views on new draft guidance on using compulsory purchase. This included a new draft circular to replace circular 38/1992. We are currently analysing the consultation responses and intend issuing the new circular later this year.
