§ Mr. WilsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will bring forward proposals to widen the remit of the Lands Tribunal for Scotland to cover all claims of unreasonable and oppressive behaviour by feudal superiors under feudal law. [4822]
§ Mr. Raymond S. Robertson[holding answer 27 November 1996]: The present remit of the Lands Tribunal already allows it to vary or discharge land obligations which have become unreasonable or inappropriate, those which are unduly burdensome compared with any benefit resulting or which would result from performance of the obligation and those which impede some reasonable use of the land. I do not therefore propose to consider amendments to its remit until the Scottish Law Commission's proposals on a new system of land tenure to replace the present feudal system are available.
