Current status: Answered by Ross Finnie on 13 December 2002
To ask the Scottish Executive, further to the answer to question S1W-30830 by Ross Finnie on 18 November 2002, whether it will lodge an amendment to the Land Reform (Scotland) Bill that would enable crofting communities to buy salmon fishings on croft land and not those exercisable from croft land and what the reasons are for its position on this matter.
I see no need to change the bill in the manner proposed since the existing provisions fully meet our policy intentions.
