HC Deb 20 June 1918 vol 107 c529W
Mr. WATT

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he has any statistics showing the number of golf courses in Scotland, which county agricultural committees suggested should be ploughed up for food for the people and which the Board of Agriculture for Scotland refused to sanction or insist upon; and whether it is the definite policy of his Board, so far as they have such, to preserve at all cost golf courses during war-time?

Mr. MUNRO

Out of nine recommendations the Board have agreed to seven and refused to sanction two. These figures will enable my hon. and learned Friend to draw his own conclusions as to the policy of the Board. For his further information I am sending him a copy of a circular which has been recently issued to golf clubs.
