Meeting of the Parliament 17 May 2012 : Thursday, May 17, 2012
Stewart Stevenson Presiding Officer, you will be aware that I cannot comment on a live case.

Meeting of the Parliament 17 May 2012 : Thursday, May 17, 2012
Stewart Stevenson I am unhappy to share Nanette Milne’s concern and to agree that the increasing age of farmers is an issue for the industry. From 2000 to 2007, the number of farmers aged under 45 fell and the number aged over 65 rose from 22 per cent to 27 per cent. A fundamental challenge that is in front of us is ...

Meeting of the Parliament 17 May 2012 : Thursday, May 17, 2012

The bottom line is that documents have to be registered in the register of sasines or the land register.



Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee 16 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Stewart Stevenson Registers of sasines that record land deeds in Scotland have been in existence since 1617. At one time, there were local burgh registers and particular sasine registers, as well as the general register of sasines. Some ultra-long leases might still be recorded on those older registers.

Rural Affairs, Climate Change and Environment Committee 16 May 2012 : Wednesday, May 16, 2012
Stewart Stevenson Amendments 4, 5 and 6 will amend sections 20 and 23, which refer to section 15(3) of the Land Registration (Scotland) Act 1979. The references need to be updated to refer to the Land Registration etc (Scotland) Bill, which is going through Parliament. The amendments will therefore remove the referen...
