HC Deb 10 May 1909 vol 4 cc1451-2
Mr. WEIR

asked the Lord Advocate, seeing that the farm of Mangersta, in the parish of Uig, Island of Lewis, consisting of 1,920 acres, is not held under lease, will the Congested Districts Board approach the proprietor with a view to breaking up the farm into new holdings, especially bearing in mind that the Deer Forest Commissioners scheduled the pasture of this farm, as well as 42 acres arable, as suitable for new holdings?

Mr. URE

The Government have for some time been in communication with the proprietor, with a view to forming crofter tenancies on this farm, which come out of occupation presently, but the details of the scheme have not yet been adjusted.
