Land Reform in Scotland, Delivering for Now and the Future
The motion
As an amendment to motion S5M-16445 in the name of Roseanna Cunningham (Land Reform in Scotland, Delivering for Now and the Future), leave out from "community ownership" to end and insert "common ownership of land should be the norm and not simply a response to market failure or disputes with landowners; recognises the importance of the Scottish Land Fund in supporting community land and asset buyouts; recognises that the work of the Scottish Land Commission is making a positive contribution to delivering the Scottish Government’s land reform agenda; agrees the importance of ensuring that land reform continues to be a key policy priority to change the entrenched and inequitable pattern of land ownership in Scotland so that everyone can benefit from land, and endorses the findings of the Scottish Land Commission’s investigation into the issues associated with large-scale and concentrated ownership in Scotland."
