HC Deb 15 July 1908 vol 192 cc862-3
MR. WEIR

I beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he has received a memorial from the Cottars and Crofters Association, Uig, Island of Lewis, pointing out that there is land in the parish now used as sheep ranches and deer forests sufficient for the settlement of 1,800 families; and, in view of the fact that this land was formerly in the occupation of small holders, will the Congested Districts Board communicate with the proprietor with a view to some arrangement being arrived at by which the land may be made available, for the people.

MR. SINCLAIR

This is the same memorial referred to by my hon. friend in his previous Question. It is receiving consideration.

MR. WEIR

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

MR. SINCLAIR

I can add nothing to the Answer I have given.

MR. WEIR

A most unsatisfactory Answer.
