Land for the Many
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the report by George Monbiot, Robin Grey, Tom Kenny, Laurie Macfarlane, Anna Powell-Smith, Guy Shrubsole and Beth Stratford, Land for the Many: Changing the way our fundamental asset is used, owned and governed, which has been published by the Labour Party; welcomes what it sees as the report's radical, but practical solutions, to fixing the social and economic inequalities of land ownership and governance; understands that these changes can be brought about in a number of ways, including increasing transparency, stabilising land prices and progressive taxation; believes that despite being a UK-wide publication, these proposals are particularly relevant to what it sees as the acute challenges facing Scotland; acknowledges the thorough research that has been conducted by the team around land supply, and supports the recommendations set out in the report.
