To ask the Scottish Executive why it stated that the Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc (Scotland) Bill has no effect on sustainable development, as stated in the Bill's policy memorandum.
Answer
The Abolition of Feudal Tenure etc. (Scotland) Bill is a technical reform which makes new provision for the legal basis on which the majority of land and property, including buildings, in Scotland is owned. Issues of management and use of land, which have implications for sustainability, will be dealt with in the overall land reform action plan, including the Land Reform Bill.
