HC Deb 20 March 1925 vol 181 c2648W
Mr. MACPHERS0N

asked the Secretary for Scotland whether he is aware that a meeting was held by the Achnagart and Rhelonie tenants to protest against the decision of the Land Court in their case; that they regard the case of the Rhelonie tenants as different from that of Strathkyle, while the Court treated them as identical; and whether, as they are dependent upon rights which they could not have had before the passing of the 1911 Land Act for their grazing, he will see his way, by agreement or otherwise, to do whatever is possible to remedy their grievance?

Sir J. GILMOUR

The answer to the first part of the question is in the affirmative. As regards the last part, I am informed by the Board of Agriculture for Scotland that they are in negotiation with the landlord and the tenant of Rhelonie Hill on the subject of the enlargement of the Achnagart and Rhelonie crofters' grazings on Rhelonie Hill, desired by the crofters.
