Scottish Land Commission
Ministers have welcomed Parliamentary approval of the proposed new Chair and two Land Commissioners of the Scottish Land Commission (SLC).
Ministers selected Michael Russell as the new Chair of the SLC, and Craig MacKenzie and Deborah Roberts as Land Commissioners, following recommendations presented by an independent panel. In line with the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2016, Ministerial appointments to the SLC are subject to Parliamentary approval. The appointment of the Chair and Land Commissioners will be confirmed and publicised early in the new year once the public appointments process is completed.
The role of the Scottish Land Commission is to advise the Scottish Government on an ongoing programme of land reform, and to provide leadership for change in culture and practice.
