HC Deb 20 July 1916 vol 84 cc1200-1
78. Major CHAPPLE

asked the Secretary for Scotland the cost to the most recent date available of all transactions under the Small Landholders (Scotland) Act, 1911, including the cost of administration?

Mr. MUNRO

The cost of operations under the Small Landholders Acts during the financial year 1914–15 as appearing in the Account of the Agriculture (Scotland) Fund is shown in the Appropriation Accounts for that year immediately following the Account of the sum voted for the administrative expenses of the Board of Agriculture for Scotland. Similar Accounts for the previous two years of the Board's operations are given in the Appropriation Accounts for 1912–13 and 1913–14. I regret I cannot undertake to have a single comprehensive statement prepared just at present.
