Question
To ask the Scottish Government what (a) fiscal and (b) administrative support it intends to give to early adopters of Regional Land Use Partnerships, and whether this financial support will be allocated in the 2020-21 budget.
Answer
The Scottish Government is committed to Regional Land Use Partnerships. Following the publication of the Scottish Land Commission recommendations report on 3 November 2020, we are undertaking preparatory work to establish Regional Land Use Partnership pilots. As part of this work, we are reviewing the Scottish Land Commission’s recommendations and pursuing all options to enable pilot projects to be operational by the end of 2021, to meet the Programme for Government commitment. This will include evaluating any support required. We intend to announce the agreed pilot areas in the near future.
