§ Mr. WEIRasked the Lord Advocate if he will state in what parishes in the county of Inverness the 48,500 acres of land now in the hands of the Congested District Board are situated, the price paid for the land, the number of crofter holdings to be formed on this land, and the approximate 884W cost to the Board of creating such holdings?
§ Mr. UREThe lands "now in the hands of the Congested District Board" are in the parishes of Kilmuir, Snizort, and Barra, in Inverness-shire. The price paid for the Kilmuir estate in Snizort and Kilmuir was £80,000, and for Vatersay, Barra, £6,250, a total of £86,250. I cannot as yet give the particulars regarding the prospective formation of holdings desired by my hon. Friend.
