§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland if he will consider the expediency of issuing a circular to deer forest proprietors in the Highland crofting counties, urging them to fence in their forests in such an effective manner as to prevent the deer from straying on to the adjoining lands and ravaging the crofters' crops thereon.
§ MR. SINCLAIRThe matter referred to by my hon. friend can only be dealt with by an amendment of the law, and without that I do not see my way now to take the steps suggested.
§ MR. SINCLAIRI gave no undertaking.
