§ Mr. CLELANDasked the Lord Advocate whether his attention had been directed to the declared intention of the proprietor not to renew the leases of four farms on the Ardkinglas estate (Loch Fyne), employing 12 men each, and to turn these farms into a deer forest; and whether it was the intention of the Government to endeavour to stop such expropriations by re-introducing the Scottish Small Landholders Bill, or similar legislation?
§ Mr. UREThe Government have no information on this subject at present, and I fear that the mere introduction of legislation would not have the effect desired by my hon. Friend.
§ Mr. WEIRIs it the intention of the Government to allow deer forests to increase instead of staying their growth?
