The Scottish Crofting Federation have welcomed the publication of the Scottish parliament Rural Affairs and Environment Committee’s report on their Stage 1 scrutiny of the Crofting Reform (Scotland) Bill.
Marina Dennis, Convenor of the SCF crofting reform working group, said “We are pleased that the conclusion is that legislation should proceed. The Parliamentary Committee have clearly put a great deal of effort into the scrutiny of this Bill and reported back with due diligence. The report shows that the committee have listened to what crofters have been saying and have paid attention to the SCF, the crofters’ representative organisation.
