HC Deb 28 July 1914 vol 65 cc1100-1
30. Mr. FREDERICK WHYTE

asked whether the bed-recesses in the new kind of cottage which the Board of Agriculture for Scotland proposes to erect for small holders are lit from above by a sky-light; and in what manner is their proper ventilation provided for?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The answer to the first part of the question is in the negative. The rooms are ventilated by windows and chimneys.

81. Mr. WHYTE

asked whether the Scottish Board of Agriculture has yet built any of the new kind of cottages for small holders; and, if so, how many, and where?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

Of the three standard types of cottages shown in Appendix 7 of the Report of the Board for last year there have been built:—

Type 1. One cottage at Stonefield, Aberfoyle, and one at Lochearnhead.

Type 2. Two cottages on new holdings at Harrietsfield, St. Boswells.

Type 3. One cottage at Palace, Jedburgh.

Mr. WHYTE

Has my right hon. Friend had any complaints regarding type No. 1?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

No.

32. Mr WHYTE

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he will place copies of the plans of the Scottish Board of Agriculture's cottages for small holders in the Library in order that Scottish Members of Parliament may judge for themselves whether the proposed cottages are satisfactory?

Mr. McKINNON WOOD

The plans and elevations of the three standard types of cottages are shown in the Appendix 7 of the Report of the Board of Agriculture for Scotland for 1913.
