§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, having regard to the fact that the Auchnashellach Deer Forest, Ross-shire, is assessed at £1,000 yearly, will he explain how the assessor arrives at these figures, seeing that a recent Parliamentary Return shows that no information of a reliable character in regard to the acreage of the forest can be obtained.
§ MR. A. G. MURRAYI understand that the assessors, in valuing deer forests which are not let, proceed with primary reference to the number of stags the forest in question can carry, and not to acreage. The Valuation Act provides ample Opportunity for disputing the assessor's valuations.
