HC Deb 03 July 1928 vol 219 c1145
16 and 17. Mr. MACLEAN

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland (1) the number of applications for small holdings in Harris which have been received since 1912; how many were granted; and the acreage involved;

(2) the number of applications for small holdings in Lewis which have been received since 1912; how many were granted; and the acreage involved?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The hon. Member will find the information asked for in these questions in Appendices Nos. 1 and 2 of the Report of the Board of Agriculture for Scotland for the year ended 31st December, 1927.

Mr. MACLEAN

Can the right hon. Gentleman say how it is that I can find this information in the Report issued by the Scottish Board of Agriculture, but I cannot get important statistics in regard to the Islands of Lewis and Harris?
