HC Deb 29 July 1938 vol 338 cc3498-9
41. Mr. R. Gibson

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland, what is the present total annual rental receivable by the Department of Agriculture for Scotland from the agricultural tenants of the 439,252 acres of land held by the department and so let; what is the present total annual sum receivable by the department for the sporting facilities over the 421,685 acres let by the department to third parties; and what were the actual respective sums received during each of the last three years?

Mr. Colville

I shall send the information to the hon. and learned Member as soon as it is available.

Mr. Gibson

Will the right hon. Gentleman circulate it in the OFFICIAL REPORT?

Mr. Colville

I think the Recess will prevent me from doing that, but I will write to the hon. and learned Member, who will no doubt consider what use he can make of the information.

Mr. Gibson

If I put down a Question for the first day after the Recess, will that do?

Mr. Colville

indicated assent.
