HC Deb 12 February 1897 vol 46 c268
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary to the Treasury whether, having regard to the fact that he has recently promised a Return showing the cost of the Crofters' Commission up to the present time, he will also arrange to grant a Return showing the number of holdings the Crofters' Commission have visited in the counties of Argyll, Inverness, Ross and Cromarty, Caithness, and Orkney and Shetland respectively, the number of cases upon which they have adjudicated, the total amount of deductions they have made, and the total amount of arrears they have cancelled?

*THE LORD ADVOCATE

The Secretary for Scotland is willing to grant a Return of the nature indicated, but I must ask the hon. Member to consult the Scottish Office as to the exact form in which the Return shall be moved for, before giving his Notice of Motion.
