HC Deb 27 February 1896 vol 37 c1265
MR. J. MCLEOD (Sutherland)

I beg to ask the First Lord of the Treasury, whether it is the intention of the Government to introduce any legislation this Session dealing with the case of the small leaseholders resident within the area in which the Crofters' Holdings (Scotland) Act is operative?

THE FIRST LORD OF THE TREASURY

The Secretary of State for Scotland is endeavouring to obtain more accurate information than has been obtained hitherto with regard to this question, and at present the Government cannot commit themselves to any promise of legislation.
