The sale of the Isle of Gigha
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the cross-party efforts to support the right of the residents of the island of Gigha to buy the island on which they live; notes the existence of the Scottish Land Fund and the opportunity for the residents of Gigha to submit an application for financial assistance from that fund; invites the Scottish Executive to give careful consideration to lifting the notional £1 million ceiling on applications in the light of the market valuation of £3.5 million which has been placed on Gigha, and supports the efforts of Highlands & Islands Enterprise to work with the local population to establish the feasibility of such a bid and secure the necessary community majority for proceeding with any subsequent fund application.
