Question
To ask the Scottish Government, further to the answer to question S6O-02399 by Gillian Martin on 21 June 2023, what its proposed timescale is for introducing proposals for crofting law reform.
Answer
I am committed to reforming crofting law by 2026, however, a decision on the timing of a Crofting Bill will be taken by Cabinet in the context of setting the content of future legislative programmes in the normal way.
The Crofting Bill Group is making good progress in reaching a consensus on the issues raised in 2016-2019, and further issues put forward by the Law Society and the Crofting Commission.
