§ MR. WEIR (ROSS and Cromarty)To ask the Lord Advocate, seeing that the farm of Inverlael, in the parish of Loch broom, Ross-shire, formerly supported many crofter families, and is now vacant, will the Secretary for Scotland consider the expediency of communicating with the proprietor with a view to the acquisition of the farm by the Congested Districts Board for the creation of new holdings.
(Answer.) The Secretary for Scotland is informed that no part of the farm of Inverlael is now vacant. Some ten or twelve years ago a part of it was taken from the farmer and given by the proprietor in extension of crofter holdings. The transference of the remainder, after buying out the farm tenant, is now a completed transaction.—(Scottish Office.)
