§ MR. WEIR (ROSS and Cromarty)To ask the Secretary for Scotland, having regard to the fact that in the whole of the Highland crofting counties there are only 1,100 holdings above £30 and not exceeding £50 annual rental, will he state how many of such holdings are situated in the congested districts of the respective counties.
§ (Answered by Mr. Sinclair.) The latest information is given in Poor Rates (Scotland) (Persons Assessed), House of Commons Return of 5th August, 1891. At that date there were 234 holdings between £30 and £50 rental in what are now congested parishes. No Returns, however, were given for the parishes of North Uist, Portree, Sleat, Canisbay, Hoy and Graemsay.
