§ Sir JOHN DEWARasked if the Secretary for Scotland is aware that the arrangements made by the Congested Districts Board as to the division of Scuddaburgh at Idrigil, in Skye, have caused dissatisfaction to the parties interested; and if he will make a special inquiry into the circumstances of the case before finally deciding the matter?
§ Mr. UREThis matter has been under the close attention of the Secretary for Scotland. The immediate cause of the dissatisfaction referred to by the hon. Baronet is a recent decision of the Crofters Commissioners granting an enlargement of holdings but excluding certain land at Scuddaburgh from the enlargement. Some of the parties interested have taken the ill-advised course of seizing the land in question. So long as those who have broken the law maintain their present attitude they must recognise that they are prejudicing any just claim to consideration which they may think they possess, and are only compelling the Board to enforce their rights as proprietors against unlawful invasion.
