HC Deb 18 October 1909 vol 12 c10
Mr. WEIR

asked the Lord Advocate whether the proprietor of the island of Lewis has yet definitely decided to break up the farm of Mangersta, in the parish of Uig; and, if so, will he state whether the Congested Districts Board will be prepared to co-operate with the proprietor in the creation of new holdings?

Mr. URE

The proprietor is prepared to subdivide, and the Congested Districts Board are willing to co-operate; further details have still to be arranged.

Mr. WEIR

May I ask the right hon. Gentleman whether he will ask the Secretary for Scotland to facilitate the matter? It has now been going on for several months.

Mr. URE

The matter does not rest altogether with the Secretary for Scotland.
