SIR, – Finally, the Scottish Government has come out into the open in the row engulfing the Crofting Commission and three grazings committees.
A jargon-laden press release announces a review into the role of all but the minister. Having failed to do the honourable thing and make himself available to scrutiny, it is now the duty of MSPs in the Scottish Parliament to rise to the challenge, and demonstrate they are capable of holding this minister to proper account.
