HC Deb 20 March 1905 vol 143 c459
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Lord-Advocate if he will state what progress has been made by the Congested Districts Board in their negotiations with the proprietor of the Island of Lewis for the sub-division of the farm of Aignish, Lewis, into crofter holdings, and the nature of any arrangements on the subject which may have been entered into.

*MR. SCOTT DICKSON

The proprietor has selected tenants for the thirty-two crofts into which this farm is to be subdivided. Tenders have been invited for the necessary roads and drainage and also for the houses to be erected on the crofts.

MR. WEIR

Will the right hon. Gentleman answer the latter part of the Question?

*MR. SCOTT DICKSON

My Answer contains all the information I have.
