HC Deb 15 March 1904 vol 131 c1138
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, having regard to the nature of the harvest in the Highland crofting counties, will the restrictions which have been placed on the supply of seed oats to some of the congested districts be withdrawn; and will he state what quantity of oats has been supplied by the Congested Districts Board this year, and at what price.

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. A. GRAHAM MURRAY,) Buteshire

The Board are not prepared to vary the conditions which they have adopted as a matter of policy after full consideration. 2241 quarters have been supplied, carriage paid, at 21s. per quarter.
