4 Recommendation

While recognising the context of this change being introduced via a Stage 2 amendment, the Committee considers this is the sort of power which it might have normally expected to be subject to further enhanced “super-affirmative” procedures, or even being introduced via primary legislation.

5 Recommendation

The Committee considers a statutory requirement to consult with the Crofting Commission, persons that the Scottish Ministers consider to be representative of the interests of crofters, and any other person they consider appropriate prior to making regulations under this power, should be a pre-condition of its use.
