HC Deb 29 June 1920 vol 131 c265W
Major M. WOOD

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether there are still any ex-service men in occupation of holdings under The Land Settlement (Scotland) Act, 1919, who have not yet had their rents fixed; if so, how many there are; and what is the cause of the delay?

Mr. MUNRO

There are 138 tenants on lands acquired by the Board of Agriculture for Scotland under the Act of 1919 whose rents have not yet been finally fixed. The delay is due to the reasons stated in my reply to my hon. and gallant Friend's question of the 20th April. I have taken steps to expedite the settlement of this matter.
