HC Deb 23 July 1908 vol 193 c313
MR. WEIR

To ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will state whether the landward committee of the Stornoway Parish Council have yet furnished information in regard to Lewis cottars who are willing to migrate; and, seeing that it is six months since a list of upwards of 120 cottars Was sent to the Scottish Office, will he state the cause of the delay in obtaining information respecting their qualifications.

(Answered by Mr. Sinclair.) The Answer is in the negative. No action can be taken by the Congested Districts Board until the landward committee have furnished the information which they are endeavouring to obtain.
