§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether any scheme is yet in progress for the purpose of providing small holdings on the mainland of Ross-shire suitable for occupation by cottars and others who may be prepared to migrate from congested districts; and, if not, will he say whether any efforts have been made to acquire land, and the cause of the delay in the preparation of a suitable scheme.
§ *THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. A. GRAHAM MURRAY,) ButeshireNo scheme is yet in progress on the mainland of Ross, and it is impossible within the scope of an answer to a question to deal adequately with all the considerations involved; but they will be referred to in the second report of the Congested Districts Board which the Secretary for Scotland hopes will be in the hands of Members next month.
