Scotland North East Labour MSP, Mercedes Villalba, responded to the launch of a Scottish government proposal on land reform in a “net zero nation.”

The Holyrood Minister for Environment and Land Reform Mairi McAllan launched the government consultation and said: ”We want to see the benefits of land ownership shared fairly.”
