§ MR. WEIRI beg to ask the Secretary for Scotland whether he has any information to the effect that the wives, sisters, and daughters of thirty-five landless cottars have taken forcible possession of that part of the farm of Ealigarry in Barra, known as Vaselin, the property of Messrs. William and Murdock M'Gillivray; and will he state whether the Government propose to take any steps to secure land for the landless cottars in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
§ MR. SINCLAIRFor the reply to the first part of my hon. friend's Question, I beg to refer him to the reply given to the Question of the hon. Member for North-west Lanark. The Government are fully alive to the desirability of improving the position of the landless cottars in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
