§ DR. E. M'DONALD (Ross and Cromarty)asked the Lord Advocate, If it is true that the Crofters' Commission is to proceed to Uist, after finishing at Tiree; if so, is he aware that the very large majority of the crofters of Uist are away at the fishing elsewhere, and cannot possibly appear to give evidence before the Commission?
§ THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. J. H. A. MACDONALD) (Edinburgh and St. Andrew's Universities)The Crofters' Commission has now gone to Uist. The Commissioners were instructed, before deciding on this or any other arrangement, to satisfy themselves by inquiry that those interested in the proceedings were qualified to give the necessary information, and would be able to be present at the place the Commissioners went to. Presumably this direction has been attended to.
