§ The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State, Scottish Office (Lord Sewel)I had a most productive meeting with Lord Gill and members of the Scottish Law Commission on 9 January to discuss the commission's programme for law reform and how it relates to the work of the Land Reform Policy Group. We agreed that the commission and the group should keep in close touch to discuss any particular issues which may arise as this important work develops.
