§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Lord Advocate whether any action has yet been taken by the Secretary for Scotland or the Congested Districts Board with a view to provide land for the landless cottars and fishermen of Bernera, Island of Lewis.
MR. A. GRAHAM MURRAYI have nothing very material to add to the full answer which I gave to a similar Question put to me by the hon. Member on 7th June last.† On the 1st October last the Congested Districts Board wrote fully to the County Council of Ross and Cromarty in regard to the application of the Bernera cottars, and the County Council communicated the substance of the letter to the cottars themselves. Since that date, no further application has been made.
