HC Deb 21 April 1914 vol 61 cc760-1
25. Mr. FREDERICK WHYTE

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he can state the number of cases of market gardeners that have come before the Land Court since the commencement of the Small Landholders (Scotland) Act, 1911; and how many of these have been admitted to the benefits of the Act?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

Only three cases have been disposed of by the Land Court where the question of market garden was raised. In two of these the objection was repelled, and the applicants declared statutory small tenants. In the third case the objection was sustained, and the application dismissed as incompetent under Section 26 (3) (d) of the Act of 1911. There are some cases pending before the Land Court where the question is raised.
