The SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Sir John Gilmour)

It is anticipated that the net capital expenditure on schemes of land settlement in Scotland for the year 1928–29 (now current) will amount to approximately £109,000. Similar expenditure during the year 1929–30 may be from £130,000 to £150,000, depending upon the rate at which arrangements in progress mature.
