Land Reform: the
briefing paper produced for the House of Commons Scottish Affairs Committee It is possible to read thebriefing paper on Land Reform* produced for the House of
Commons Scottish Affairs Committee and think at first glance that they may have
a point… Had the reader recently landed
from Mars he might consider it reflects a kind of optimistic naivety whose
authors believe their own prejudices to be sacrosanct and that numbers can be
used to prove almost anything. However should the same visitor
meet up with a rational human neither politician, left wing, or exclusively
urban, he might start to question the rationale of the committee’s approach to
land reform. |
