Question
To ask the Scottish Government when the Scottish Land Commission will lay its refreshed Programme of Work in the Parliament, as required by the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016.
Answer
The Scottish Land Commission’s Programme of Work was first published in September 2017. It sets out the work being delivered against the Commission’s Strategic Plan and Business Plan.
The Commission has now produced a refreshed Programme of Work to reflect emerging thinking and developments on the basis of its work to date. This also ensures consistency with the Strategic Plan and Business Plan.
The Commission is required, under the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016, to lay a copy of any revised Programme of Work before the Scottish Parliament. This was done today and is available at:
