§ 27. Sir A. SINCLAIRasked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether he 1891 is aware of the grievance felt by smallholders in certain parts of Scotland who have built houses on their holdings for the purpose of summer letting and have had their fair rents increased in respect of the proceeds received from those lettings; and whether he is prepared to introduce amending legislation to deal with this grievance?
§ Sir J. GILMOURI am aware of the position, but I have received no recent representations on the subject. As regards the second part of the question, I can give no undertaking as to legislation.
