Meeting of the Parliament (Hybrid) 01 December 2021
I am pleased to speak to the motion, which recognises the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee’s consideration of the reappointment of Andrew Thin as chair of the Scottish Land Commission and of two of the land commissioners, Dr Sally Reynolds and Lorne MacLeod. They are reappointed, alongside Dr Bob McIntosh, who plays a vital role in supporting our tenant farming sector.
I would like to thank all the reappointees for their work to date and I look forward to working with them in the coming years to deliver Scotland’s ambitious land reform agenda.
Motion moved,
That the Parliament notes the Net Zero, Energy and Transport Committee’s consideration of the reappointment of four commissioners to the Scottish Land Commission at its meeting on 16 November 2021; welcomes the Committee’s recommendation that the Parliament approves the reappointment to the Scottish Land Commission of Andrew Thin, as Commissioner for an additional two year term and selected as Chair for an additional two year term, and of Dr Bob McIntosh, Tenant Farming Commissioner, Dr Sally Reynolds, Commissioner, and Lorne MacLeod, Commissioner, for additional three year terms, and approves the reappointments as required by section 10 of the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016.—[Màiri McAllan]
