The question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S7W-01435 by Gillian Martin on 16 July 2026, which stakeholders it is working with, what specific workstreams have been commissioned, and what timescale it is working to in terms of delivering (a) legislation and (b) non-legislative remedies.
The answer
During the course of the Community Right to Buy review, the Scottish Government worked with stakeholders including Community Land Scotland, Development Trusts Association (Scotland), National Farmers Union, Scottish Land and Estates and a number of community groups who had interacted with the legislation over the years. In addition, the Scottish Land Commission chaired a review group that were involved in the review at various stages, including the drafting of the final recommendations.It is envisaged that those same stakeholders will again be involved going forward.We are committed to strengthening community right to buy policy following the recent review and have already started taking forward recommendations that do not require legislation. Our manifesto also signalled that we would take forward changes requiring primary legislation. We are considering the best way to do this, with future legislative programmes to be agreed and announced through future Programmes for Government.We are committed to strengthening community right to buy policy following the recent review and have already started taking forward recommendations that do not require legislation.
