HC Deb 19 March 1901 vol 91 cc414-5
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate if he will state the acreage of lands suitable for new holdings recently secured by the Congested Districts Board at Aignish, Gross, and Croir, Island of Lewis.

*MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

I am informed that no purchases have been as yet concluded in these districts.

MR. WEIR

Did the right hon. Gentleman say only yesterday that purchases had been made?

*MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAY

No; yesterday's question was whether efforts were being made to effect purchases. I answered that in the affirmative.
