Current status: Answered by Ross Finnie on 13 December 2002
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-30827 by Ross Finnie on 18 November 2002, why section 65(2)(d) of the Land Reform (Scotland) Bill provides for the purchase of "salmon fishings contiguous to" croft land when the intention of the bill is to provide for the purchase of salmon fishings that are exercisable from croft land and whether it plans to lodge any amendment to bring the bill into line with this intention
It is my understanding that the terminology used in section 65(2)(d) is precisely what is required in order to achieve our policy intention.
