We have been participating in the review of the law and practice of compulsory purchase, compensation and related matters, aimed at making the whole process fairer, more efficient and more effective, which is led by the Department of Transport, Local Government and the Regions.In due course we propose to consult on proposals for change in Scotland. These will take into account the recommendations of the review, the UK Government's response to it and the research findings and recommendations recently published by the Scottish Executive.
