Topical Questions
- Question
- Yesterday the Select Committee on Scottish Affairs published a report recommending the devolution of the Crown Estate, sea bed and foreshore rights in Scotland to local communities as far as possible. That would be a massive transfer of power from Whitehall to communities in the highlands and islands, exactly in line with the big society agenda. I hope that the Government support the recommendation.
- Answer
-
I understand that those proposals were published just yesterday, so the Government have not had a great deal of time to consider them, but we will do so carefully.
