HC Deb 05 April 1911 vol 23 c2389W
Captain GILMOUR

asked what was the total sum expended on the crofters' houses erected by the Congested Districts Board near Stornoway, recently condemned by the sheriff; and what is the rent now payable for these houses and lands?

Mr. URE

Assuming the hon. Member to refer to the crofters' houses at Aignish, I cannot accept his reference to them as having been condemned by the sheriff as accurate. The total cost of erecting the thirty-two houses was £4,735. The rents for the land, payable to the landlord amount to £94 4s. a year, in addition to which annuities to the amount of £142 2s. 8d. are payable to the Congested Districts Board.
