Agenda item 3 is consideration of issues relating to closed petition PE14 on security of tenure. Again, I refer members to a note that the clerk has prepared, which includes recent correspondence from the Deputy Minister for Justice. The Deputy Minister for Justice has reiterated his view that the Executive sees"no prospect of a legislative solution"to the matter. The suggestion is that the hutters should test the application of the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979 through the Lands Tribunal for Scotland.The petition has been around for some time. Although members of the committee have changed, when the petition was dealt with initially the committee felt strongly that a way should be found of legislating to protect hutters. We have considered various aspects of the law and even appointed an adviser to look into the matter for us, who suggested that we should consider the operation of the 1979 act. The Executive has said in its correspondence that testing the matter in court is the only avenue that it can see that is open to hutters.Before I invite comments, I draw members' attention to the positive news from Carbeth and Rascarrel bay. The latter case is progressing through the Lands Tribunal for Scotland under the 1979 act. Other people—for whom I do not think there is any solution—have written to us on the matter.The petition was submitted some time ago and, if members plan to take further action, they will need to say what they propose should be done. If they do not, I invite the committee to close work on the subject. We must decide one way or the other.
