HC Deb 02 August 1911 vol 29 c554W
Mr. WATT

asked the Lord Advocate whether he has any statistics showing the number of acres in the Island of Arran withdrawn from cultivation during the last ten years and devoted to deer; and can he say from the Census the number of farmers' sons there are in the island over eighteen years of age, and the number of these on the outlook for farms?

Mr. URE

From the Return No. 344 of March, 1908, it appears that there is one deer forest in Arran of the extent of 2,500 acres, but I am not aware when it was formed. The Census figures will not, I fear, enable me to give the other information desired by my hon. Friend.
