HC Deb 15 May 1906 vol 157 cc359-60
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will state by whom estates which the Congested Districts Board have purchased were inspected and valued, and the qualifications of such officers.

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR, Forfarshire)

I can only say that in all cases the Congested Districts Board took the utmost care to obtain the most competent opinion as to value before concluding any purchase.
