HC Deb 11 February 1887 vol 310 c1210
DR. CAMERON(for Mr. J. W. BARCLAY,), Forfarshire

asked the Secretary for Scotland, Whether he can state the amount of rates collected in Skye, from crofters paying less than £30 of rent, during the recent occupation of the island by Her Majesty's Marine Forces?

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. A. J. BALFOUR) (Manchester, E.)

I told the hon. Gentleman the other day that I had not in my possession information which would enable me to distinguish between arrears of rate payable by one class of tenants and those paid by the other. I am afraid I cannot supplement that answer with any further useful information.
