HC Deb 02 December 1926 vol 200 cc1369-70
65. Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland the sum for which Conon Lodge, Uig, Skye, was sold recently by the Board of Agriculture?

The UNDER-SECRETARY of STATE for SCOTLAND (Major Elliot)

Conon Lodge and the adjoining wooden building, as advertised for sale, were sold by public auction on 17th November at the upset price of £1,700.

Mr. MACLEAN

Were there any more bidders than one for this property? Or was there only one bid and was that one taken?

Major ELLIOT

It was a public auction, and the best bid was accepted. I do not know if there was only one bid.

Mr. MACLEAN

Was this sufficiently well advertised to attract a number of bidders?

Major ELLIOT

I must have notice of that question.

Mr. MACQUISTEN

Was there a profit on the sale?
