HC Deb 21 July 1902 vol 111 c775
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord Advocate if he can explain why the acreage of the deer forest of Auchnashellach, Ross-shire, is stated in the last Return issued by the Crown Agent for Scotland as not known, whereas in the Parliamentary Return issued in 1891 the acreage is given as 33,250 acres; and will he have some inquiry made with a view to ascertain the present approximate acreage.

*THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. A. GRAHAM MURRAY,) Buteshire

I have nothing to add to the answer which I gave to the hon. Member on Thursday last, †

MR. WEIR

But I am now asking a definite Question as to a specific deer forest. The right hon. Gentleman will not reply. Will you, Mr. Speaker, tell me what steps I may take in order to induce him to answer.

*MR, SPEAKER

The hon. Member must be aware that he has already received a general answer which applies to this Question.

MR. WEIR

But my Question is as to a deer forest of 30,000 acres or more which has apparently vanished.
