Responding to the Scottish Land Commission’s report on the concentration of land ownership, Scottish Labour leader Richard Leonard said:

“This report exposes the real divide in Scotland - between the wealthy few and the rest.

"We call on the Scottish Government to support the recommendations of the report.

“Labour abolished feudalism in the first term of the Scottish Parliament but 20 years later we are still living with the consequences of feudal ownership.

“With that ownership comes power.

"That’s why Scottish Labour would also implement a radical new land reform act in government, which would break up these monopolies, and ensure that there is a fair distribution of land in the public interest.”
