Sir LEICESTER HARMSWORTHasked the Secretary for Scotland whether his attention has been drawn to a decision of the Court of Session that in fixing a fair rent the landlord must take into consideration the summer letting value of the premises concerned; and whether he will introduce legislation providing that where the landlord has not contributed to the erection of buildings, or to additions made to buildings for this especial purpose, the smallholder may let as one of the normal methods of livelihood provided by the holding without any increase of rent being incurred thereby?
§ Mr. MUNROI beg to refer the hon. Baronet to my reply of 10th instant on 2283W this subject to the hon. Member for South Ayrshire. Before considering the expediency of legislating in the direction suggested, I should prefer to await the result of the series of cases in Arran now being heard by the Scottish Land Court.
