HC Deb 24 February 1914 vol 58 c1581
34. Mr. W. YOUNG

asked whether the abandonment of any of the six schemes of land settlement which the Board of Agriculture for Scotland have found impracticable was due to the excessive demands for compensation of the landowners concerned?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The reply to this question is in the negative.

35. Mr. W. YOUNG

asked the names of the landowners with whom the Board of Agriculture for Scotland was in negotiation in the six schemes for land settlement in Scotland which have been abandoned, and the acreage involved in each case?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

In view of my answer to the previous question, I presume that my hon. Friend will not press this question.
