§ Mr. WEIRasked whether the Lord Advocate, in view of the constantly increasing deer forest area in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, would grant the Deer Forest Return on to-day's Paper?
§ Mr. UREMy hon. Friend appears to have forgotten Return No. 220 of 1908, which was moved for by himself and which gives precisely the particulars desired.
§ Mr. WEIRasked the Lord Advocate whether the Secretary for Scotland is aware that crofters in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland suffer serious loss through deer from the adjoining deer forests straying on to their lands; and will he consider the expediency of taking such action as may be necessary to require deer forest owners to fence in their forests?
§ Mr. UREThe only action possible would be by way of legislation, which is not at present a practicable course.
