Delegated Powers and Law Reform Committee

Leases (Automatic Continuation etc) (Scotland) Bill

Meeting date: 6 May 2025

Roz McCall

I did not want to not give you the opportunity to answer the question, if you wanted to. That is all, convener.

Leases (Automatic Continuation etc) (Scotland) Bill

Meeting date: 6 May 2025

Roz McCall

Should the bill apply equally to premises covered by the electronic communications code, electricity substations and that sort of thing? Do you see those similarly to how you see rural matters, or should this law apply to them?

Part 1 sets out where it would be applied. I am wondering whether you have any views on that.

Leases (Automatic Continuation etc) (Scotland) Bill

Meeting date: 6 May 2025

Roz McCall

I want to ask about a pet issue of mine—the view that the bill should be amended to repeal the Tenancy of Shops (Scotland) Act 1949. I would be really interested to know what you think about that.

Leases (Automatic Continuation etc) (Scotland) Bill

Meeting date: 6 May 2025

Roz McCall

Last week, we heard that there needs to be some consideration of the electronic communications code—for example, in relation to wind farms and electrical substations. That is another deviation. What are your views on that?

That is interesting.

Parts of the written submissions highlighted issues about rural areas. What are your views on the arguments that the definitions need to be tightened in relation to grazing and mowing?

I accept that—thank you very much.

That is very helpful. Thank you very much.

Part 1 of the bill defines leases to which the legislation will apply. What are your thoughts on that part of the bill?

We will go right back down the line, starting with Steven Blane, please.

Leases (Automatic Continuation etc) (Scotland) Bill

Meeting date: 29 April 2025

Roz McCall

I am going to shift to the SLC’s conclusion that the Tenancy of Shops (Scotland) Act 1949 should be repealed and that the bill should be amended to implement that. Other responses to the call for views have argued that that should be dealt with as a separate form of legislation. What are your thoughts on that issue?
