HC Deb 18 February 1914 vol 58 cc949-50
65. MARQUESS Of TULLIBARDINE

asked what is the amount of travelling allowance and maintenance paid to the officials and employés of the Board of Agriculture and Land Court in connection with small holdings up to date; and what is the total amount of rental fixed upon which was in dispute or required adjustment?

The SECRETARY for SCOTLAND (Mr. McKinnon Wood)

The amount of such expenditure by the Scottish Land Court is £3,945 18s. 4d., and by the Board of Agriculture for Scotland is £5,071. Full particulars of the rental of the holdings dealt with up to 31st December, 1912, are given in the First Report of the Land Court. Particulars of holdings dealt with during the year 1913 are not yet fully tabulated, but this work is being pushed on as rapidly as possible, and the figures will appear in the Report to be issued shortly.

MARQUESS Of TULLIBARDINE

Will the right hon. gentleman say if the expenses he has given are up-to-date?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

Yes. That was my answer.

MARQUESS of TULLIBARDINE

Why is it the hon. Member can give the information on one side and not on the other?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

It is a much simpler matter to state the amount of expenditure.
