Scotland’s Crofting Commission is dysfunctional with “unacceptable weakness” in its leadership, Holyrood’s Public Audit Committee has warned.
Auditor General for Scotland Stephen Boyle found “significant weaknesses in the commission’s leadership and governance” in his examination of the regulator last year.
The committee has now said it is extremely concerned by the significant and persistent problems within the organisation responsible for overseeing Scotland’s 20,000 crofts.
