HC Deb 25 March 1929 vol 226 c2084W
Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what number of new holdings and enlargements, respectively, were constituted in Scotland during each of the years 1927 and 1928?

Sir J. GILMOUR

During the years 1927 and 1928 the Board of Agriculture for Scotland provided and gave applicants entry to 75 new holdings and 17 enlargements, and 71 new holdings and 46 enlargements, respectively.

Sir A. SINCLAIR

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland whether arrangements have yet been made for the constitution of new holdings and enlargements of existing holdings from the farm of Sciberscross, in the Parish of Rogart, in Sutherland?

Sir J. GILMOUR

Schemes for the constitution of new holdings and for the enlargement of existing landholder's holdings have been served on the landlord and tenant of Sciberscross Farm. The statutory procedure must be completed before a decision can be made as to whether the schemes should be put into operation or abandoned.
