Mr. CATHCART WASONasked the Secretary for Scotland if, in view of the importance of getting on with land settlement, especially for the purpose of finding employment for returning soldiers and sailors, he will consider the possibility of passing an Act empowering the Board of Agriculture to make voluntary arrangements with landlords without the intervention of the Land Court?
§ Mr. TENNANTMy hon. Friend is aware of the difficulties with which this question is surrounded. At present I can only say that his suggestion will receive my careful consideration, along with others that have reached me on the subject.
