HC Deb 23 November 1909 vol 13 c7
Mr. WEIR

asked the Lord Advocate, in view of the fact that crofters in the Highland crofting counties suffer serious loss through deer from the adjoining deer forests devastating their crops, and seeing that these crofters owing to want of means Are not in a position to take action for the recovery of compensation, will the Government arrange to take proceedings to enforce Clause 2 of The Agricultural Holdings Act, 1906, which provides for compensation for damage to crops by deer?

Mr. URE

The answer is in the negative.
