§ Mr. Maclennanasked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he will make a statement on the recent proposals of the Crofters' Commission regarding the ownership of crofts and the earlier proposal of the Federation of Crofters' Unions, details of which have been sent to him, that crofters should be given the right, if they so desire, to become owner-occupiers of their crofts.
§ Mr. RossI have just received the Commission's far-reaching proposals which take account of the Federation's earlier resolution and I am studying them with interest.
