Current Petitions

The committee will not be able to deal with the petition completely, so I suggest that we put it in the legacy paper. Most of the responses seem to be in favour of the proposals, apart from that from the Scottish Rural Property and Business Association, which thinks that the proposals would be overly bureaucratic. Work is on-going to prepare detailed maps of wild land along with a report, which is to be finished in the next few months. After that, the Government will consider the issue. I suggest that we refer the petition to our successor committee to consider once the Government has had a look at the work that is being done.
