§ Mr. MORTONasked the right hon. Gentleman whether land in Sutherlandshire is being cleared of sheep for the purpose of adding the ground to deer forests; and, if so, whether the Government will promote legislation this Session to put a stop to land, which is capable of producing food for the people, being used for mere sporting purposes?
§ Mr. UREI have no information on the subject referred to by my hon. Friend. The Government is not in a position to deal with such questions by way of legislation at present.
§ Mr. MORTONWill my right hon. Friend make inquiries as to what is going on in the direction referred to at a place called Gordonbush Farm, Borrobol, Kinbrace.
§ Mr. REESIn view of the extravagant misstatements on this subject made last night, will the right hon. Gentleman endeavour to publish something like the facts for the information of the public before any legislation is undertaken?
