HC Deb 10 April 1951 vol 486 c807
21. Mr. William Ross

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what steps he has taken or is proposing to take to conserve good agricultural land in Scotland.

Mr. McNeil

Every proposal to divert agricultural land to another use which comes before me is thoroughly examined in order to avoid any unnecessary loss.

Mr. Ross

Can my right hon. Friend tell us the outcome of his discussions with Kilmarnock County Council with reference to agricultural land on the outskirts of Kilmarnock?

Mr. McNeil

I am prepared to do so by correspondence.
