HC Deb 25 October 1906 vol 163 c429
MR. MITCHELL-THOMSON (Lanarkshire, N.W.)

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he is now able to give information regarding the approximate number and total acreage of agricultural holdings in Scotland below £50 annual value.

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR,) Forfarshire

As the hon. Gentleman is aware, approximate information is, as I informed him on 1st August last, to be found by reference to: 1. Poor Rates (Scotland) Persons Assessed Return to House of Commons, dated 6th July. 1891. 2. Table VI of the Annual Returns of Acreage in the Agricultural Statistics, 1905. I have nothing to add to that information.
