Question
To ask the Scottish Government what aspects of the management of the Crown Estate will be devolved to local authorities.
Answer
We recently consulted on the long-term arrangements for management of Crown Estate assets in Scotland. The consultation contained our proposals on how Crown Estate assets in Scotland can be managed differently in future, including opportunities for further devolution.
The responses received will help inform the way forward on further devolution of management of assets, based on the Smith Commission’s principles.
