HC Deb 18 March 1919 vol 113 c1915
90. Mr. W. YOUNG

asked what steps have been taken to establish the proposed Advisory Council of Agriculture for Scotland; by what process and through whom the members of the council will be elected or nominated; whether adequate representation for the 50,000 smallholders in Scotland has been provided; and whether the Scottish Smallholders' Organisation, which represents the majority of these smallholders, has been consulted as to the best form of representation of this important class of agriculturists?

Mr. MUNRO

I would beg to refer my hon. Friend to the replies on this subject which I gave yesterday to the hon. Baronet the Member for Caithness and Sutherland, and on the 11th March to my hon. and gallant Friend the Member for the Kincardine and Western Division.
