This is something I have been at pains to highlight for a long time. Without confidence that retrospective legislation won’t undo the current good practice, then shortermism which is no good to anyone will prevail. Not good for investment, rural communities or the environment.
Scottish Land & Estates@ScotLandEstates

A new survey by SLE has revealed that a lack of trust in government policy and fear of retrospective changes to legislation are the biggest barriers to land being let for farming in Scotland. Read more:- scottishlandandestates.co.uk/news/fear-retr…

These are some of the many large estates that @ArianeBurgessHI today claimed “can’t be trusted to protect nature” @ScotLandEstates members have done & will keep doing a heck of a lot more to protect & enhance nature than the gesture politics of the @scottishgreens ever will

Despite clear alternatives that would protect family farms/businesses but increase overall tax return Treasury seems happy to inflict harm on not just agriculture but the whole economy. Have they really done the maths on this?!
Stuart@StuartMaggs

APR and BPR proposals are not going to be amended. Good to have clarity from @angelaeagle on Farming Today this morning. DEFRA tried to get the Treasury to move and they refused. The rules will be introduced as proposed.

It’s not perfect, but it’s better and shows a higher degree of understanding of the challenges faced by housing providers. A marathon bill with a huge number of amendments. It is vital we get back to a vibrant private rented sector that works for all parties.

🏡As the Housing Bill passed its final hurdle in Holyrood last night, we're grateful to MSPs for their efforts in securing key changes that will make it workable for tenants, housing providers and developers. Read more about our work on the Bill here: scottishlandandestates.co.uk/news/cautious-…
