HC Deb 15 March 1927 vol 203 cc1825-6
25. Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether the hoggs forming part of the proper ewe stock of Erribol Farm, but wintering in the Black Isle or elsewhere, will be taken over by the purchaser; and whether acclimatisation value will be paid for all of these sheep?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The hoggs in question were taken over by the purchaser at acclimatisation value—with the exception of the shotts, which were retained by the Board, and which will be sold by them at the end of the wintering period.

Lieut.-Colonel JAMES

Is it not a fact that the number of questions asked on this absorbing subject exceeds the number of sheep sold by several?
