HC Deb 17 February 1904 vol 130 cc16-7
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether, since the publication of the last Report of the Congested Districts Board, any arrangements for the acquisition of land in either of the six crofting counties for the creation of new holdings have been completed; and, if so, will he state briefly the nature of the arrangements, the districts where land has been secured, and the amount expended.

THE LORD ADVOCATE (Mr. SCOTT DICKSON,) Glasgow, Bridgton

The only fully completed arrangement for the acquisition of land since the publication of the last Report of the Congested Districts Board is that of the Estate of Glendale in Skye, the price of which is not payable until Whitsunday term next, but there are several other cases which the Board hope to deal with in their forthcoming Report.
