HC Deb 13 December 1972 vol 848 cc139-40W
46. Mr. Grimond

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if, in any reform of feudal law and similar matters, he will seek to ensure that impositions such as scat are abolished but udal rights associated with the foreshore are maintained.

Mr. Buchanan-Smith

The Green Paper published in July on land tenure reform in Scotland envisaged that scat would be abolished on the same basis as feuduty. It did not suggest any alteration in other features of udal law.
