§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he has received from the Crofters' and Cottars' Association, Carloway, Island of Lewis, a copy of a resolution passed at a recent meeting at Carloway, stating that, in view of a survey of the sheep farms at Dalbeg and Dalmore, and the Uig ranches, and sheep runs on the west coast of Lewis, the 1129 people consider that these lands are admirably suited for the formation of new holdings; and will he state whether the lands would be available in the event of the Small Landholders (Scotland) Bill now before Parliament becoming law.
§ MR. SINCLAIRThe Answer to the first part of the Question is in the affirmative; but until it passes into law, it is not possible to indicate more precisely than has hitherto been done, the powers which will fall to be exercised by the authorities established under the Bill.
