HC Deb 31 October 1906 vol 163 c1118
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland, if he will state the name and occupation of the person who valued the land which forms the crofter settlement at Aignish, Island of Lewis, and who set out the crofts and fixed the rents

THE SECRETARY FOR SCOTLAND (Mr. SINCLAIR,) Forfarshire

The farm of Aignish was lotted out by a member of the Crofters Commission acting for the Congested Districts Board and the rents were fixed by that body also on behalf of the Congested Districts Board with the approval of the proprietor.

MR. WEIR

Will the right hon. Gentlemen give me the name of the incompetent person who is responsible for this?

MR. SINCLAIR

No, Sir. The Congested Districts Board are ultimately responsible.
