IN LAST week’s story about the ongoing crofting row, it was said that Fergus Ewing MSP had called on Mr Colin Kennedy to resign.
However, the Scottish Government would like us to point out that ‘no such request to resign has been issued. Serious allegations about the Scottish ministers and others were attributed to Mr Kennedy in the press following the Crofting Commission’s meeting in Brora on September 28. The Scottish Government has requested further information from the convener in relation to these allegations and will give this further consideration. While this matter is ongoing, the Scottish Government will continue to monitor the situation at the Crofting Commission closely.’
