Aims & functions of the committee

Our Rural Affairs Sub-Committee is made up of solicitor and non-solicitor members with an interest in and experience of a wide range of rural affairs issues. We work closely with other committees including the Property and Land Law Sub-Committee and the Environmental Law Sub-Committee. We respond to consultations and proposals for relevant changes to the law from a wide range of stakeholders. We have done a significant amount of work on crofting law reform, and are pleased to be contributing to the Scottish Government’s work on crofting law.
